The AST Lowering Springs for the 1993-1994 Volkswagen Vento MKIII (1HXO) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring is cold wound, heat treated to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, then individually shot peened, phosphate treated, and powder coated to ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance. The progressive rate design offers a balanced ride, combining comfort with improved cornering stability, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance and enhanced driving dynamics.

These lowering springs are specifically designed for 1993-1994 VW Vento MKIII models with the 1HXO chassis code. They provide a 40mm drop at the front and rear, serving as a direct replacement for factory springs. Suitable for street and spirited driving, these springs are easy to install and intended for use on vehicles that require a moderate lowering to improve handling and appearance. The kit includes the set of springs, offering a straightforward upgrade for those looking to enhance their Vento’s performance and style.
