The AST Lowering Springs for the 1976-1994 Volkswagen Derby (86/86C) are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 70mm at the front and rear. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. The springs undergo cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, and are individually shot peened, phosphate treated, and powder coated for superior durability and corrosion resistance. Featuring progressive spring rates on most vehicles, they provide improved handling, stability, and a lowered stance without sacrificing ride comfort or safety.

These springs are specifically engineered for the Volkswagen Derby models from 1976 to 1994, including the 86 and 86C variants. They serve as direct replacement or performance upgrade for stock springs, ideal for street and spirited driving. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on components designed to fit the original suspension mounting points. The kit includes the lowering springs only, with no additional components required. Suitable for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling and a lowered aesthetic, these springs deliver consistent performance and long-lasting quality for daily driving or track use.
