The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 60mm, enhancing handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium 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 reduce internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. These progressive rate springs provide improved stability, reduced body roll, and a sportier stance, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for the MK1 Golf GTI models from 1979 to 1983, these springs are a direct replacement for the factory components, offering a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. Suitable for street and spirited driving, they improve handling without compromising ride comfort significantly. Installation involves replacing the original springs with these units, which are sold as a set for the front and rear. The kit does not include additional components but ensures a precise fit for vehicles with the specified chassis. These springs are perfect for drivers looking to improve their Golf GTI’s performance and appearance with a reliable, high-quality suspension upgrade.
