The AST Lowering Springs are engineered to provide a precise reduction in your BMW 3/C/B 316i/318i/318TDS’s ride height, specifically designed for models produced between 12/1990 and 1998. Manufactured using advanced Wafios coiling machines, these cold-coiled springs ensure consistent quality and durability. They offer a significant lowering effect—50 mm at the front and 20 mm at the rear—resulting in a lowered center of gravity that enhances vehicle stability and handling without compromising the comfort typically expected from OEM springs.
AST’s commitment to quality is demonstrated through the use of premium materials and meticulous manufacturing processes, guaranteeing a product that meets rigorous business and safety standards. These springs have been developed as direct OEM replacements, ensuring seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing suspension system. Their progressive spring rate design balances improved road contact and ride quality, delivering a refined driving experience suitable for everyday use as well as spirited driving.
With over 2500 vehicle applications spanning from 1966 to the present, AST Lowering Springs are a trusted choice for automotive professionals and enthusiasts alike. Each set comes with a lifetime warranty against breaking, underscoring the brand’s confidence in their product’s longevity and reliability. This warranty provides additional assurance that your investment is protected over the lifespan of the springs.
Please note that these lowering springs are not compatible with vehicles equipped with level adjustment systems. They are also unsuitable for M-models, S4 models, and cars fitted with Audi sport chassis. Due to the inherent differences in standard ride heights between the front and rear axles, the perceived lowering effect may vary after installation compared to catalog specifications. For optimal performance and to maintain suspension geometry, it is recommended to pair these springs with shortened shock absorbers.
