The AST Lowering Springs for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 (1996-2001) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are meticulously 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. The springs are then phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure durability and longevity, surpassing the lifespan of the vehicle. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs provide a balanced combination of ride comfort and improved cornering performance, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance with reliable performance.

Designed specifically for 1996-2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models, these springs are a direct replacement for the factory components, offering a 40mm drop at the front and rear. They are intended for street use, providing enhanced handling and a more aggressive stance without sacrificing daily drivability. Installation is straightforward as bolt-on replacements, compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the lowering springs themselves, with no additional components required. Ideal for street and casual driving, these springs deliver improved vehicle stability and a sportier appearance while maintaining ride quality and durability over time.
