Description
The MTS Street Polo 86 Gold is a height-adjustable send-in kit (coilover) from MTS Technik for the Volkswagen Polo 86/86C / Derby, model years 1975 to 1994. Street is the standard setup from MTS Technik: a good balance between comfort and firmness.
On the Gold version, the steel parts have a yellow zinc coating and the aluminium parts are black anodised. This is a send-in kit: MTS Technik builds the kit with your own original front struts, so you don’t have to weld anything yourself.

Fitting and delivery
MTS Technik builds the MTS Street Polo 86 Gold with your own original front struts: after receipt they are stripped of their paint, welded to size and zinc-plated.
- 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 fitting the MTS Street Polo 86 Gold, have the wheel alignment checked, because camber and toe change as well.
How a send-in kit works
- After your order we will email you the shipping instructions and the address for your original front struts.
- Beforehand, remove all parts from the struts, such as hubs, bearings, cover caps, damper cartridges, bolts and nuts. If the struts arrive not disassembled, or if damage is found (for example broken bolts), they will be sent back or extra costs will be charged.
- Send in the struts in their original paint, even if it looks bad. Do not spray or paint them beforehand; they are stripped, welded and then zinc-plated.
- Because the kit is made to measure with your struts, the right of withdrawal for distance purchases does not apply: a send-in kit cannot be returned.
- This kit is only delivered within the European Union.
The delivery time depends on when your struts arrive. After your order we will keep you updated by email about the dispatch and the expected delivery time.
The MTS Street Polo 86 Gold combines zinc-plated damper bodies and up to 85 mm of lowering for the Volkswagen Polo 86/86C / Derby.
Why choose the MTS Street Polo 86 Gold?
With the MTS Street Polo 86 Gold you choose the setup MTS Technik itself recommends as standard: enough lowering for a tight stance, and a character that doesn’t become tiring on the road. 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. And because it is a send-in kit, you don’t have to weld anything yourself.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Can I return a send-in kit?
No. Because the kit is made to measure with your own struts, the right of withdrawal for distance purchases does not apply.
How long does delivery take?
The delivery time of the MTS Street Polo 86 Gold depends on when your struts arrive. After your order we will keep you updated by email about the dispatch and the expected delivery time.
