The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance coil springs designed to lower the vehicle's ride height by 60mm front and 40mm rear. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their consistent quality and durability. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance. These springs provide a progressive rate, offering improved handling, reduced body roll, and a sportier stance without compromising ride comfort.

Designed specifically for the MK1 Golf GTI models from 1979 to 1983, these springs are a direct replacement for the factory components, providing a performance upgrade suitable for street and spirited driving. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on components compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the set of lowering springs, with no additional components required. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance and enhanced handling, these springs are engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and track use, delivering consistent performance and durability over time.
