The AST Lowering Springs are engineered to enhance the driving dynamics of your BMW 3 Series (320i/323i/325i/325TD/TDS/328i) from 01/1996 to 1998 by effectively lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. Manufactured using advanced Wafios coiling machines, these springs are cold-coiled to ensure superior durability and precision. The design focus is to provide a significant reduction in ride height—50 mm at the front and 20 mm at the rear—without compromising the comfort level typically associated with OEM springs.
Crafted from high-quality materials, the AST Lowering Springs represent a direct OEM replacement tailored specifically for the mentioned BMW models. Their progressive spring rate optimizes handling performance by reducing body roll and improving cornering stability, which contributes to a more responsive and confident driving experience. Additionally, the springs maintain a balanced ride quality, ensuring that everyday comfort is preserved despite the lowered stance.
The extensive application range of AST springs covers over 2500 vehicle models from 1966 to the present, reflecting the brand’s commitment to precision engineering and compatibility. Each set is backed by a lifetime warranty against breaking, underscoring the reliability and longevity of the product. This warranty provides added assurance for customers seeking a dependable suspension upgrade.
It is important to note that these lowering springs are not suitable for vehicles equipped with level adjustment systems, M-models, S4 models, or cars featuring Audi sport chassis. Due to the inherent differences in standard ride height between the front and rear of the vehicle, the actual lowering effect may vary from the catalog specifications after installation. For optimal performance and to accommodate the reduced ride height, the use of shortened shock absorbers is strongly recommended.
