The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1976-1994 Volkswagen Polo (86/86C) are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 40mm. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are selected for their strength and consistency by AST engineers. 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 a balanced combination of improved handling and ride comfort. Their construction emphasizes quality and longevity, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade to their suspension system.

Designed specifically for the 1976-1994 Volkswagen Polo models with 0.9 and 1.3-liter engines, these springs serve as a direct replacement for stock components. They are ideal for street use, offering enhanced handling, a lowered stance, and improved cornering performance. Installation is straightforward, with the springs fitting directly onto the existing suspension setup. The kit includes the lowering springs themselves, with no additional components required. Suitable for daily driving or spirited street use, these springs help achieve a sportier look and improved vehicle dynamics while maintaining ride quality and durability over time.

Overview

AST Lowering Springs for the 1976-1994 Volkswagen Polo (86/86C) are manufactured from a premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire which is handpicked by AST engineers for its quality and metal consistency.

Each spring is cold wound and then heat treated to increase hardness and reduce internal stresses present after winding. Each spring is then individually shot peened, phosphate treated and then powder coated to outlast even the life of the vehicle.
