The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Jetta GTI (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 60mm. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked for quality and metal consistency by AST engineers. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. These progressive-rate springs improve handling, stability, and cornering performance while maintaining ride comfort, making them an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance with enhanced driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Jetta models equipped with 1.6 or 1.8-liter engines, these springs serve as a direct replacement for stock components. They are suitable for street use and performance driving, offering a lowered ride height that enhances aesthetics and handling without compromising daily comfort. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements, and the kit includes the set of four springs. These springs are compatible with the MK1 chassis and are intended for drivers seeking improved cornering, reduced body roll, and a sportier appearance on both street and track applications.

Overview
