The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1974-1979 Volkswagen Jetta (MK1/17) are high-performance coil springs designed to lower the vehicle's ride height by 40mm. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. Each spring undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The springs are phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, providing long-lasting performance. These springs feature progressive rates on most vehicles, offering improved handling, stability, and a lowered stance for enhanced aesthetics and driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for 1974-1979 Volkswagen Jetta MK1/17 models, these springs are a direct replacement upgrade that maintains compatibility with the vehicle's original suspension components. They are suitable for street use, offering a balance of comfort and performance, and are ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered, sportier appearance. Installation is straightforward as bolt-on components, and the kit includes the springs necessary for a complete upgrade. These springs are compatible with stock shocks or aftermarket suspension setups, making them suitable for daily driving or spirited driving on the street. Proper installation ensures optimal handling and ride quality for this classic vehicle.
