The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1976-1994 Volkswagen Polo (86/86C) are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 70mm at the front and rear. 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 minimize internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The phosphate coating and powder coating finish provide superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity beyond the vehicle's lifespan. Featuring progressive spring rates on most applications, these springs deliver improved handling, reduced body roll, and a sportier stance without compromising ride comfort.
Designed specifically for the Volkswagen Polo models from 1976 to 1994, these lowering springs are suitable for vehicles with 0.9 and 1.3-liter engines (86/86C). They serve as direct replacement components that upgrade the suspension for enhanced street performance and sporty driving dynamics. Installation is straightforward, typically involving bolt-on replacement of stock springs. The kit includes the set of springs, with no additional components required. These springs are ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance and improved handling on daily drivers or spirited street use, providing a durable and reliable upgrade tailored to the Polo's chassis and suspension geometry.
