What is the benefit of a progressive spring design?

A progressive spring design means the spring rate changes as it compresses. This allows for a softer initial ride, similar to OEM, but becomes firmer under load or during spirited driving, improving handling.

Do these springs come with new bump stops or perches?

This product includes a set of AST lowering springs. It is recommended to inspect your existing bump stops and perches during installation and replace them if worn, as they are not included with the springs.

What does the lifetime warranty against breaking cover?

The lifetime warranty against breaking covers the springs themselves against failure due to material or manufacturing defects. It ensures that if a spring breaks under normal use, AST will replace it.
