Fitting and delivery

To fit the MTS Stance Passat B2 Gold, the original front struts are shortened and welded as described in the manual. Have this done by an experienced mechanic or welder.

• 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.
• The adjustment range may differ depending on the version of the car, the lowering and the accuracy of the welding work on the suspension.
• After fitting the MTS Stance Passat B2 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 Passat B2 Gold?

With the MTS Stance Passat B2 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 Comfort, Street and Stance?

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

Do the struts really have to be welded?

Yes. With this weld-in insert kit, your original struts are shortened and welded as described in the manual. If you don’t want to weld yourself, check whether a send-in kit exists for your car: with that, MTS Technik does the welding.

How long does delivery take?

The MTS Stance Passat B2 Gold is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
