Fitting and delivery

The MTS Comfort Golf 1 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.
• After fitting the MTS Comfort Golf 1 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 Comfort Golf 1 Gold combines zinc-plated damper bodies, Eibach springs of 40 and 30 N/mm and up to 80 mm of lowering for the Volkswagen Golf 1 / Scirocco 1/2 / Jetta 1.

Why choose the MTS Comfort Golf 1 Gold?

With the MTS Comfort Golf 1 Gold you choose a lower car without giving up ride comfort; the softer springs make the kit pleasant for long trips and daily use. 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 (40 and 30 N/mm), Street (50 N/mm) and Stance (60 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 Comfort Golf 1 Gold is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
