The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 80mm, enhancing handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked for quality and metal consistency. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to increase hardness and reduce internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. These progressive-rate springs provide improved stability and responsiveness, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking a lowered stance with enhanced driving dynamics.

Designed specifically for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI models with 1.6 or 1.8-liter engines, these springs serve as a direct replacement for stock components. They are ideal for street performance and spirited driving, offering a lowered profile that improves cornering and reduces body roll. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements, compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes two springs, and no additional modifications are typically required. Suitable for daily driving or track use, these springs deliver a combination of durability, performance, and a lowered aesthetic.
