The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Golf (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 40mm. Crafted from high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness, and shot peening to improve fatigue life. The phosphate coating and powder coating finish provide superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even under demanding driving conditions. These progressive-rate springs offer improved handling, reduced body roll, and a sportier stance, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for the MK1 Golf models from 1979 to 1983, these lowering springs are a direct replacement for the factory springs, providing a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. They are suitable for street use and spirited driving, offering a lowered stance without sacrificing ride comfort. Installation involves replacing the original springs with these units, which are compatible with the stock suspension components. The kit includes the set of springs, with no additional components required. Perfect for those looking to improve the vehicle's aesthetics and handling, these springs deliver a reliable, performance-oriented upgrade for daily drivers and weekend enthusiasts alike.
