The AST 70mm/20mm Lowering Springs for the BMW 3 Series E36 (1990-1998) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and metal consistency. Each spring undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and shot peening for increased fatigue life. The springs are phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, providing a long-lasting upgrade. Featuring progressive rates on most vehicles, these springs deliver improved ride quality and stability, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance and a lowered stance.

Designed specifically for 1990-1998 BMW E36 models, these lowering springs are a direct replacement for factory components, offering a straightforward bolt-on installation.

The kit includes the necessary springs for both the front and rear suspension, ensuring a balanced drop of 70mm at the front and 20mm at the rear. Suitable for daily driving, track use, or performance upgrades, these springs help optimize vehicle dynamics while maintaining ride comfort and durability over time.
