The AST 40mm/40mm Lowering Springs for the Ford Escort are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and stance. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and shot peening to improve fatigue life. The phosphate and powder coating finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance, making these springs suitable for demanding driving conditions. Their progressive rate design provides a balanced ride quality, combining lowered stance with improved stability and cornering response.
These lowering springs are compatible with 1983-1990 Ford Escort models, including MKIII-IV, GAA, GAF, AFF, and AFD chassis codes. They are intended for street and performance use, offering a moderate drop of 40mm at the front and rear to enhance vehicle aesthetics and handling. Installation is a direct bolt-on upgrade, replacing factory springs without requiring additional modifications. The kit includes the springs themselves, designed to work seamlessly with existing suspension components, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved performance and a lowered stance on their Escort.
