Fitting and delivery

The MTS Stance A1 GB Gold replaces the original dampers and springs and fits on the original mounting points.

• The stated lowering applies relative to the standard suspension. If the car has a factory sport suspension, the lowering will be smaller.
• 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 fitting the MTS Stance A1 GB Gold, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.

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

The MTS Stance A1 GB Gold combines zinc-plated damper bodies, Eibach springs of 30-55 and 40 N/mm and up to 60 mm of lowering for the Audi A1 GB, Volkswagen Polo AW, Seat Ibiza KJ and Skoda Scala.

Why choose the MTS Stance A1 GB Gold?

With the MTS Stance A1 GB Gold you choose the lowest possible car with direct, firm handling; the stiffer springs keep the body steady, even with a large lowering. 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

What is the difference between Comfort, Street and Stance?

All versions use the same dampers; the difference lies in the Eibach springs and the lowering range: Comfort (20-35 and 23-30 N/mm), Street (28-40 and 23-30 N/mm) and Stance (30-55 and 40 N/mm). Comfort is the softest. Street is the standard. Stance is the firmest and the lowest.

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?

The MTS Stance A1 GB Gold is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
