The MTS Comfort Passat B2 Gold is a height-adjustable send-in kit (coilover) from MTS Technik for the Volkswagen Passat B2 / Santana and Audi 80 B2 / 90 B2 / Coupe B2, model years 1978 to 1989. Comfort is the softest MTS Technik setup: lower and firmer than standard, with as much ride comfort as possible.

On the Gold version, the steel parts have a yellow zinc coating and the aluminium parts are black anodised. This is a send-in kit: MTS Technik builds the kit with your own original front struts, so you don’t have to weld anything yourself.

Fitting and delivery

MTS Technik builds the MTS Comfort Passat B2 Gold with your own original front struts: after receipt they are stripped of their paint, welded to size and zinc-plated.

• 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 Passat B2 Gold, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.

How a send-in kit works

• After your order we will email you the shipping instructions and the address for your original front struts.
• Beforehand, remove all parts from the struts, such as hubs, bearings, cover caps, damper cartridges, bolts and nuts. If the struts arrive not disassembled, or if damage is found (for example broken bolts), they will be sent back or extra costs will be charged.
• Send in the struts in their original paint, even if it looks bad. Do not spray or paint them beforehand; they are stripped, welded and then zinc-plated.
• Because the kit is made to measure with your struts, the right of withdrawal for distance purchases does not apply: a send-in kit cannot be returned.
• This kit is only delivered within the European Union.

The delivery time depends on when your struts arrive. After your order we will keep you updated by email about the dispatch and the expected delivery time.

The MTS Comfort Passat B2 Gold combines zinc-plated damper bodies, Eibach springs of 50 and 35 N/mm and up to 85 mm of lowering for the Volkswagen Passat B2 / Santana and Audi 80 B2 / 90 B2 / Coupe B2.

Why choose the MTS Comfort Passat B2 Gold?

With the MTS Comfort Passat B2 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. And because it is a send-in kit, you don’t have to weld anything yourself.

Frequently asked questions

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

No. The MTS Comfort Passat B2 Gold is not suitable for the four-wheel-drive versions.

What is the difference between Comfort and Street?

All versions use the same dampers; the difference lies in the Eibach springs and the lowering range: Comfort (50 and 35 N/mm) and Street (60 and 40 N/mm). Comfort is the softest. Street is the standard.

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 delivery time of the MTS Comfort Passat B2 Gold depends on when your struts arrive. After your order we will keep you updated by email about the dispatch and the expected delivery time.
