Designed and assembled in the EUAnyone who chooses an MTS Technik coilover suspension is often faced with the question: Gold or Inox? Both versions have their place. In this guide, we explain the differences between galvanized steel and stainless steel coilovers and help you decide which option suits your vehicle best.
Why the material of a coilover suspension is so important
The material of a coilover suspension affects not only its appearance, but above all its durability, maintenance effort and everyday usability. Especially with height-adjustable suspensions, corrosion protection plays a crucial role.
With MTS Technik coilover suspensions, you can choose between two material versions: Gold (galvanized steel) and Inox (stainless steel).
MTS Technik Gold – galvanized & cost-effective
MTS Technik Gold coilover suspensions feature galvanized threaded bodies with an additional protective coating. This version offers solid corrosion protection at a particularly attractive price.
Gold coilovers are ideal for vehicles mainly driven in good weather or used as seasonal cars. They are also a popular choice for show cars and weekend vehicles.
Examples include the MTS Technik Eibach Street Gold coilover suspension or the Comfort Gold coilover suspension.
MTS Technik Inox – stainless steel for maximum durability
MTS Technik Inox coilover suspensions use stainless steel threaded bodies that are highly resistant to rust and environmental influences. This makes them the best choice for year-round vehicles.
Even in winter conditions with road salt and moisture, the threads remain adjustable and smooth over time, reducing maintenance effort and preventing seized adjustments.
Popular options include the Street Inox coilover suspension and the Stance Inox coilover suspension.
Gold vs Inox – key differences at a glance
