Fitting and delivery

The MTS Stance MX-5 NB 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 lowering, 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 MX-5 NB Gold combines zinc-plated damper bodies, Eibach springs of 70 and 80 N/mm and up to 60 mm of lowering for the Mazda MX-5 NB.

Why choose the MTS Stance MX-5 NB Gold?

Stance is the choice if you want the car as low as possible and a direct, firm driving feel; the stiffer springs keep the body calm, 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.

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 (60 and 70 N/mm) and Stance (70 and 80 N/mm). Street is the standard. Stance is the firmest and the lowest.
