Fitting and delivery

The MTS Stance Golf 5 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.
• Sometimes the rear height adjuster has to be removed to achieve the maximum lowering.
• 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 Golf 5 Inox, 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 Golf 5 Inox combines stainless steel damper bodies, Eibach springs of 42.5-75 and 80 N/mm and up to 70 mm of lowering for the Volkswagen Golf 5/6 / Jetta 3/4 / Eos / Golf Plus / Touran 1T, Audi A3 8P / TT 8J, Seat Leon 1P / Toledo 5P / Altea / Altea XL and Skoda Octavia 2.

Why choose the MTS Stance Golf 5 Inox?

With the MTS Stance Golf 5 Inox you choose the lowest possible car with direct, firm handling; the stiffer springs keep the body steady, even with a large lowering. 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

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 (43.6 N/mm) and Stance (42.5-75 and 80 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 5 Inox is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
