About this part

Product Details

These AST lowering springs are cold-coiled on Wafios machines, a detail that speaks to their well-built nature. They're designed to replace your stock springs directly on your 1979-1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI 1.6 or 1.8 models, specifically the MK1/17/17CK chassis. By reducing your vehicle's center of gravity, these springs help improve handling characteristics and give your GTI a more aggressive stance.

The progressive design of these springs aims to strike a balance. You'll notice a lower ride height, which can enhance performance, but they're also developed to maintain a comfortable ride, similar to what you'd expect from the original equipment. This makes them a solid option if you want to lower your car without sacrificing too much daily drivability.

AST backs these springs with a lifetime warranty against breaking, offering peace of mind for your investment. They are engineered for a direct fit, meaning installation should be straightforward as a replacement for your factory springs.
