Designed and assembled in the EUIf you want to make your car sportier or lower it, you’ll often face the decision: sport suspension kit or coilovers? MTS Technik offers both options – each with clear advantages. In this guide, we’ll show you which setup fits your driving style, your car and your expectations best.
What is a sport suspension kit?
A sport suspension kit consists of specially matched sports shock absorbers and shorter springs. The goal is a sportier look and firmer handling compared to the factory suspension.
The lowering amount is fixed and not adjustable. That makes this option ideal for drivers who want a simple, budget-friendly solution.
Find suitable options here: MTS Technik sport suspensions.
What are coilovers?
Coilovers offer significantly more flexibility than a sport suspension kit. Vehicle height can be adjusted via the threaded body – within the approved range.
This allows you to fine-tune stance, remaining comfort and handling to your needs. MTS Technik coilovers are available in different setups such as Street, Comfort and Stance.

Sport suspension vs. coilovers – the key differences
- Lowering: fixed on sport suspension, adjustable on coilovers
- Flexibility: coilovers are far more adjustable
- Price: sport suspension is usually more affordable
- Look: coilovers allow a custom ride height

- budget-conscious drivers
