AST Lowering Springs For BMW 3/C/B 316i/318i/318TDS 12/1990-1998, Front 70 , Rear 20
Description
The AST Lowering Springs for BMW 3/C/B 316i/318i/318TDS (12/1990-1998) represent a high-quality solution designed to enhance your vehicle’s driving dynamics by lowering its center of gravity. Manufactured with precision on advanced Wafios coiling machines, these springs ensure consistent performance and durability. The front springs lower the vehicle by 70 mm, while the rear springs provide a 20 mm reduction, achieving an optimal balance between improved handling and maintained ride comfort.
These lowering springs are engineered to serve as direct replacements for the OEM springs, offering a tailored fit specifically developed for the BMW models mentioned. The cold-coiling process employed in their manufacture guarantees superior material strength and resilience, which is further supported by a lifetime warranty against breaking. This assurance reflects the brand’s commitment to reliability and long-term customer satisfaction.
By lowering the center of gravity, these springs contribute to enhanced vehicle stability, reduced body roll, and improved cornering capabilities without significantly compromising the comfort levels provided by the original suspension setup. The progressive spring design allows for a smooth transition in handling characteristics, making them suitable for both everyday driving and more spirited road use.
It is important to note that these lowering springs require the use of shortened shock absorbers to function correctly. They are not compatible with vehicles equipped with level adjustment systems, M-models, S4 models, or cars fitted with Audi sport chassis. Additionally, due to the inherent differences in standard ride height between the front and rear of the vehicle, the actual lowering effect after installation may vary from the catalog specifications.
