The AST Lowering Springs for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 (1996-2000) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are selected for their consistent quality and durability. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The phosphate treatment and powder coating further protect against corrosion and wear, ensuring longevity beyond the vehicle's lifespan. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs provide a balanced ride quality with improved stability and reduced body roll, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking enhanced driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for 1996-2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models, these springs are a direct replacement upgrade for the factory components. They are compatible with various chassis configurations within this range and are ideal for street performance, spirited driving, or light track use. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements, requiring no additional modifications. The kit includes the set of lowering springs, which drop the ride height by approximately 40mm at the front and rear, giving the vehicle a more aggressive stance. These springs are suitable for drivers looking to improve handling, cornering, and overall vehicle aesthetics without sacrificing daily comfort.
