Fitting and delivery
The MTS Street Volkswagen up! 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.
- After lowering, 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 Street Volkswagen up! Gold?
Street is the setup that MTS Technik itself recommends as the 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.
Frequently asked questions
Does this kit also fit a four-wheel-drive (4Motion or 4Drive) version?
No. The MTS Street Volkswagen up! Gold is not suitable for the four-wheel-drive versions.
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 Street Volkswagen up! Gold is delivered within 4 to 7 working days as long as the manufacturer has stock.
