The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1996-2000 Volkswagen Passat Variant TDi are high-performance coil springs designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully 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 individual shot peening. The springs are then phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure durability and longevity beyond the vehicle's lifespan. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs provide a balanced combination of ride comfort and improved stability, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance with enhanced driving dynamics.
Designed specifically for 1996-2000 Volkswagen Passat Variants equipped with TDi engines, these springs serve as a direct replacement for stock components. They lower the vehicle by approximately 60mm at the front and 40mm at the rear, offering a more aggressive stance and improved cornering performance. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension upgrades, and the kit includes the necessary springs for both front and rear. Suitable for street and spirited driving, these lowering springs are an excellent upgrade for drivers looking to enhance their Passat’s handling and appearance without sacrificing daily comfort.
