Fitting and delivery

The MTS Street Transporter T3 Gold replaces the original dampers and springs and fits on the original mounting points.

• When fitting, check the clearance between tyre or wheel and the strut: at least 5 mm. If it is less, use approved wheel spacers.
• Tip for adjusting the rear: remove the height adjuster, set the spring seat to the new position and refit the adjuster.
• After lowering, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.

Delivery: 4 to 7 working days while manufacturer stock lasts.

The MTS Street Transporter T3 Gold combines zinc-plated damper bodies, Eibach springs of 220 and 200 N/mm and up to 120 mm of lowering for the Volkswagen Transporter T3.

Why choose the MTS Street Transporter T3 Gold?

Street is the setup that MTS Technik itself recommends as the standard: enough lowering for a tight stance, and a character that doesn’t become tiring on the road. The Gold version is the most affordable way to get an MTS Technik coilover kit, with a zinc coating that protects well against rust. If you also drive in winter, take a look at the Inox version with stainless steel damper bodies.

Frequently asked questions

Does this kit also fit a four-wheel-drive (4Motion) version?

No. The MTS Street Transporter T3 Gold is not suitable for the four-wheel-drive versions.

What is the difference between Gold and Inox?

Gold has steel damper bodies with a yellow zinc coating, Inox has stainless steel damper bodies. Inox is more resistant to road salt and moisture and therefore costs more. Otherwise, the kits are identical.

How long does delivery take?
