The AST Lowering Springs for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 (1996-2001) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are handpicked by AST engineers for their superior quality 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 springs are phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure durability and longevity, surpassing the lifespan of the vehicle. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs provide a balanced ride with improved stability and reduced body roll, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking both performance and a lowered stance.
Designed specifically for 1996-2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 models, these lowering springs are a direct replacement for factory components. They are suitable for street and performance driving, offering a lowered ride height of approximately 40mm at the front and rear, which enhances handling dynamics and visual appeal. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the set of four springs, ensuring a complete upgrade. These springs are recommended for drivers looking to optimize their vehicle’s suspension for daily driving, spirited street use, or light track days, providing a durable and performance-oriented upgrade.
