The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Bora (1J) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 45mm, enhancing handling and aesthetics. Constructed from high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to increase hardness and minimize internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. These springs feature progressive rates on most vehicles, providing a balance between improved cornering and ride comfort. They are engineered to deliver a lowered stance without sacrificing ride quality, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking both performance and style.

Designed for 1998-2005 Volkswagen Bora models with 1.4 and 1.6-liter engines, these springs serve as a direct replacement for stock components. They are suitable for street use and moderate performance driving, offering improved handling and a sportier appearance. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements, compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the set of lowering springs, with no additional components required. These springs are an excellent upgrade for daily drivers and enthusiasts aiming to enhance their vehicle’s stance and handling characteristics while maintaining reliability and longevity.
