The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1976-1978 Audi 50 (86) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 40mm. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. These springs feature progressive rates on most vehicles, providing improved handling, stability, and a lowered stance without compromising ride comfort. Their robust construction and finishing processes make them a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance and aesthetics.

Designed specifically for 1976-1978 Audi 50 (86) models, these lowering springs are a direct replacement for the stock suspension components. They are compatible with vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC), offering a suitable upgrade for street driving and spirited handling. Installation involves replacing the original springs with these coil springs, providing a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. The kit includes the set of springs, with no additional components required. Ideal for daily drivers, car enthusiasts, and those seeking a lowered, sportier look, these springs deliver improved cornering and reduced body roll while maintaining ride quality and durability over time.
