AST winds its springs with progressive rates, so the car sits lower and corners flatter while the initial ride stays compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVerified fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998-2006 Volkswagen New Beetle with the 2.0, 1.8T or 1.9 TDI engine (US trims: Base\/TDI 1998; GL, GLS, GLX 1999-2004; Sport 2001-2002; Turbo S 2002-2004; GL, GLS, GLS TDI 2005; TDI 2006). Fitment set from the manufacturer's engine application and pushed to our vehicle search.

A moderate, properly rated 30mm drop removes the wheel-gap look and tightens response without needing new dampers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRev Auto Club stocks AST Suspension for Volkswagen and Audi owners who want a controlled drop rather than a slammed, bouncy one.
