The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1986 Audi 80 Coupe (81) 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 durability and consistent metal properties. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The springs are phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs improve handling, stability, and cornering performance while maintaining ride comfort.

Designed specifically for 1979-1986 Audi 80 Coupe models with 1.6TD or 2.2 engines, these lowering springs serve as direct replacements for stock components. They are compatible with vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC), providing an optimal balance of performance and ride quality. Ideal for street use and enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance, these springs enhance vehicle appearance and handling characteristics. Installation is straightforward as bolt-on replacements, and the kit includes the necessary springs for both front and rear suspension. Suitable for daily driving, street performance, and moderate track use, these springs deliver improved handling without sacrificing comfort.
