Fitting and delivery
The MTS Comfort Passat B3/B4 Inox 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 lowering, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.
Delivery: 4 to 7 working days while manufacturer stock lasts.

Why choose the MTS Comfort Passat B3/B4 Inox?
With the MTS Comfort Passat B3/B4 Inox you choose a lower car without giving up ride comfort; the softer springs make the kit pleasant for long trips and daily use. If you also drive in winter or the car is parked outside, the Inox version pays for itself: stainless steel doesn’t rust, so the thread of the height adjustment doesn’t seize up. If you mainly drive in summer, the Gold version is a more affordable alternative.
Frequently asked questions
Does this kit also fit a four-wheel-drive (4Motion) version?
No. The MTS Comfort Passat B3/B4 Inox is not suitable for the four-wheel-drive versions. MTS Technik has separate sets for that.
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 60 N/mm), Street (70 and 50 N/mm) and Stance (60 and 80 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 Passat B3/B4 Inox is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
