The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Jetta (MK1/17/17CK) are high-quality performance components designed to reduce ride height and improve handling. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are selected for their strength and consistency by AST engineers.
