Q: What are sport shock absorbers?

Sport shock absorbers use a sport-oriented damping curve designed to reduce body movement. They control compression and rebound more effectively than factory dampers, improving stability and preventing a soft or unsettled driving feel. MTS Technik sport shock absorbers are developed vehicle-specifically to match weight, axle load and vehicle characteristics.

Q: Can I use sport shock absorbers with factory springs?

Yes. MTS Technik sport shock absorbers can also be used with factory springs and will already provide a noticeable improvement in handling and control.

What are sport shock absorbers?

Sport shock absorbers differ from factory dampers through a sport-oriented damping curve that is specifically designed to reduce body movement.
They control compression and rebound far more effectively and prevent a soft, floaty, or unsettled driving feel.

MTS Technik sport shock absorbers are developed vehicle-specifically, taking weight, axle load, and overall vehicle characteristics into account.
The result is a direct and stable driving feel without unnecessarily compromising everyday comfort.

The perfect match for lowering springs

When combined with lowering springs, MTS Technik sport shock absorbers deliver their full potential.
While lowering springs reduce ride height, the correctly matched dampers ensure that the shorter suspension travel is properly controlled.

This prevents excessive rebound or unstable reactions over uneven road surfaces.
The interaction between springs and dampers creates a harmoniously tuned setup that remains sporty yet fully suitable for daily driving.

No registration required & suitable for everyday use

MTS Technik sport shock absorbers do not require registration and can be used as direct replacements for factory dampers in road-legal vehicles.
They comply with legal requirements and do not require TÜV approval, provided they are used in vehicle-specific applications.

Despite the sportier damping characteristics, ride comfort remains on a daily-drivable level.
This makes MTS Technik sport shock absorbers ideal for daily drivers who want more precise handling and increased control without sacrificing everyday usability.
