Fitting and delivery

The MTS Stance Golf 4 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.
• With a lowering of more than 40 mm, longer drop links for the anti-roll bar may be required.
• If the right driveshaft has a diameter of more than 42 mm, the maximum lowering is 15 mm less than stated.
• After fitting the MTS Stance Golf 4 Gold, 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 Stance Golf 4 Gold?

With the MTS Stance Golf 4 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 Street and Stance?

All versions use the same dampers; the difference lies in the Eibach springs and the lowering range: Street (70 and 100-120 N/mm) and Stance (90 and 100-120 N/mm). 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 Golf 4 Gold is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
