The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1988-1992 Volkswagen Passat Variant 1.6-2.0i 16V are high-performance coil springs designed to lower the vehicle's ride height by 40mm. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are meticulously handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and longevity. These springs feature progressive rates on most vehicles, providing improved handling, stability, and a sportier stance while maintaining ride comfort and durability.
Designed specifically for the 1988-1992 Volkswagen Passat (35i) models, these springs are a direct replacement upgrade for the factory components. They are suitable for street use and performance driving, offering a lowered center of gravity for enhanced cornering and reduced body roll. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements, compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the springs themselves, with no additional components required. These springs are ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance with improved handling characteristics, ensuring a reliable upgrade that withstands daily driving and spirited performance.
