The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1986 Audi 80 Coupe (81) are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 60mm front and 40mm rear. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring is cold wound, heat treated to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, then individually shot peened, phosphate treated, and powder coated to ensure longevity beyond the vehicle's lifespan. The progressive rate design on most applications provides improved handling, stability, and a lowered stance, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking both performance and aesthetic upgrades.

The springs are compatible with vehicles equipped with Electronic Damping Control (EDC), ensuring proper function and ride comfort. Installation involves replacing the stock springs, and the kit includes the necessary components for a straightforward upgrade. Suitable for daily driving and spirited street use, these springs deliver improved handling and a sportier appearance.
