The AST Lowering Springs for the 1994-2002 Volkswagen Golf (MKIII/MKIV/1EXO/1E) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. Each spring undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and shot peening for increased durability. The springs are phosphate treated and powder coated, ensuring long-lasting corrosion resistance and a refined appearance. Featuring progressive rates, these springs provide a balanced ride quality, combining lowered stance with improved stability during cornering and spirited driving.

Designed specifically for the MKIII and MKIV Golf models from 1994 to 2002, these springs are a direct replacement for factory components, offering a lowered ride height of approximately 40mm at the front and rear. They are suitable for street use, track days, and spirited driving, delivering enhanced handling without sacrificing ride comfort. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the set of four springs, providing a comprehensive upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved performance and a more aggressive stance on their Golf.
