Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are selected for their consistent quality and durability. Each spring is cold wound, heat treated to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, and then individually shot peened and phosphate treated. The powder coating finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance, making these springs a reliable upgrade for improved handling and a sportier stance. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, they deliver a balanced combination of comfort and performance, ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced driving dynamics.

These lowering springs are specifically engineered for the 1976-1994 Volkswagen Derby models, including the 86 and 86C variants.

The kit includes the necessary springs for both front and rear suspension, ensuring a complete upgrade. Compatible with vehicles equipped with 0.9/1.3 engines, they are an excellent choice for drivers aiming to optimize their Derby’s handling and aesthetic appeal.
