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 more comfortable ride during normal driving, as the spring is softer initially, but becomes firmer under load or during aggressive driving to improve handling and reduce body roll.

Do these springs require any other modifications to install?

These springs are designed as a direct replacement for your OEM springs. However, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions and consider a wheel alignment after installing lowering springs to ensure optimal performance and tire wear.

What does the lifetime warranty against breaking cover?

The lifetime warranty against breaking covers defects in materials or workmanship that cause the spring itself to break under normal use. It ensures that AST stands behind the durability of their product for as long as you own the vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1979-1994 Volkswagen Golf I a lower stance and improved handling, these AST Lowering Springs are a solid option. They're designed to directly replace your stock springs, reducing your vehicle's center of gravity without sacrificing too much of the comfortable ride you're used to. This means you get a sportier look and potentially better road feel, all from a direct swap.

These springs are cold-coiled using Wafios coiling machines, which are known for their precision in spring manufacturing. The progressive design is key here; it allows the springs to offer a firmer ride when you need it, like during spirited driving or cornering, but still remain compliant enough for daily driving. This balance is what helps maintain that OEM-like comfort while still achieving a noticeable drop. The springs are specifically developed for the Golf I, ensuring they work well with the factory suspension geometry.

With a drop of 60mm in both the front and rear, you'll see a significant change in your Golf's profile. AST backs these springs with a lifetime warranty against breaking, so you can install them with confidence knowing they're built to last.
