The AST 60mm/60mm Lowering Springs for the Ford Escort 1983-1990 are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and stance. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are selected for their strength and metal consistency by AST engineers. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and shot peening to improve fatigue life. The springs are then phosphate treated and powder coated, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion over the vehicle's lifespan. Featuring progressive rates, these springs provide a balanced ride quality with enhanced stability during cornering and aggressive driving.

Designed specifically for 1983-1990 Ford Escort models, including MKIII-IV variants with GAA, GAF, AFF, and AFD chassis codes, these lowering springs serve as direct replacements for factory components. They are intended for street and performance use, offering a lowered stance that improves aerodynamics and handling without sacrificing ride comfort. Installation is straightforward as bolt-on upgrades, compatible with existing suspension setups. The kit includes two springs, tailored to deliver optimal performance and durability for daily driving or spirited driving enthusiasts seeking improved vehicle dynamics and a sportier appearance.
