The AST Lowering Springs for BMW 3 318i (08/2006-12/2013) represent a meticulously engineered solution designed to enhance vehicle dynamics by lowering the center of gravity. Manufactured using advanced Wafios coiling machines, these springs are cold-coiled to ensure superior structural integrity and consistent performance. The front springs lower the vehicle by 30 mm, while the rear springs achieve a 15 mm reduction, providing a balanced and stable stance without compromising the driving comfort expected from OEM components.
AST’s commitment to quality is evident in the use of premium materials and precise manufacturing techniques, delivering springs that maintain ride comfort while improving handling characteristics. Their progressive design allows for a smooth transition in suspension travel, minimizing harshness and preserving everyday usability. These springs are a direct fit replacement, tailored specifically for the BMW 3 318i model years 2006 through 2013, ensuring seamless integration with the vehicle’s suspension system.
With a comprehensive application range covering over 2500 vehicle models since 1966, AST Lowering Springs have established a reputation for reliability and performance. Each set is backed by a lifetime warranty against breaking, underscoring the brand’s confidence in their durability and long-term functionality. This warranty provides added assurance to customers seeking a dependable upgrade for their vehicle’s suspension.
It is important to note that for vehicles already equipped with standard lowering springs, the effective lowering achieved by the AST springs will be reduced by the amount of the existing lowering. This ensures that customers can accurately anticipate the final ride height after installation.
