The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Jetta (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 60mm front and 40mm rear, enhancing handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked for quality and metal consistency. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to increase hardness and reduce internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. These features contribute to improved stability, reduced body roll, and a more aggressive stance, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a performance upgrade.

Designed specifically for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Jetta with MK1/17/17CK chassis, these springs are a direct replacement for stock components, offering a bolt-on installation. Suitable for street and spirited driving, they provide a lowered ride height that enhances cornering and overall vehicle dynamics. The springs are engineered to maintain ride quality while delivering improved handling characteristics. Installation typically involves replacing the original springs with these units, and they are compatible with existing shock absorbers. These springs are an excellent choice for drivers looking to improve their Jetta’s performance and appearance without compromising reliability.
