The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1983-1990 Ford Escort deliver a performance-oriented suspension upgrade designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are selected for their durability and metal consistency. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The phosphate treatment and powder coating ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance, making these springs a reliable upgrade for the vehicle’s suspension system. Featuring progressive rates on most applications, they provide a balanced ride quality while lowering the vehicle’s stance for improved cornering and visual appeal.
Designed specifically for the 1983-1990 Ford Escort MKIII-IV/ABET/ABFT models, these springs are a direct replacement for factory components. They are suitable for street use and performance driving, offering improved handling dynamics and a lowered ride height of approximately 40mm. Installation involves replacing the stock springs with these high-quality units, which are compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the springs themselves, with no additional components required. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a durable, performance-enhancing suspension upgrade, these springs are engineered to withstand demanding driving conditions and extend the lifespan of the vehicle’s suspension system.
