The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1979-1983 Volkswagen Jetta (MK1/17/17CK) are high-performance coil springs designed to reduce ride height by 80mm. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. The manufacturing process involves cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and minimize internal stresses, followed by shot peening, phosphate treatment, and powder coating to ensure durability and longevity beyond the vehicle's lifespan. These progressive-rate springs improve handling, stability, and cornering response, making them an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance and a lowered stance.

Designed specifically for the MK1 Jetta models from 1979 to 1983, these springs are a direct replacement for the factory components, offering a bolt-on installation. They are suitable for street use and spirited driving, providing a lowered center of gravity for improved handling characteristics. The kit includes the set of front and rear springs, ensuring a complete upgrade. Compatible with stock or aftermarket suspension setups, these springs are intended for those looking to optimize their vehicle's performance and appearance without compromising ride quality.
