The AST Lowering Springs for the Ford Orion are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 60mm on each corner. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness, and shot peening to improve fatigue life. The phosphate and powder coating finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance, making these springs suitable for demanding driving conditions. Their progressive rate design provides a balanced combination of comfort and handling, delivering improved stability and cornering response while maintaining ride quality.

These lowering springs are compatible with 1983-1990 Ford Orion models, including MKIII-IV, GAA, GAF, AFF, and AFD chassis codes. They are intended for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance and enhanced driving dynamics for street or spirited driving. Installation involves replacing the original springs with these direct-fit components, offering a straightforward upgrade for vehicle suspension. The kit includes the springs themselves, with no additional components required. Suitable for daily driving or performance applications, these springs help improve vehicle handling and aesthetics without compromising reliability.
