Product Details

MTS Technik Shock Absorbers on your 1996-2000 Volkswagen Passat B5 Saloon (3B2) are well-known for its sportiness. Optimal alignment allowed to reach a compromise between rigidity and ride comfort. With the shortened working stroke our shock absorbers are designed for use with lowering springs up to 80mm!

The long durability is a consequence of caring for a stable and safe ride. A two-year warranty with unlimited kilometers is valid for all dampers.

Standard Features

  • Engineered to deliver firmer damping characteristics for improved handling, reduced body roll, and enhanced driving confidence.
  • Designed to work seamlessly with sport and lowering springs, maintaining balanced suspension performance and ride control.
  • Manufactured from premium materials with precision engineering for long-lasting durability and consistent performance.
  • Features a protective coating that helps resist rust and corrosion, ensuring reliable operation in all weather conditions.
  • Vehicle-specific design provides straightforward installation while restoring or upgrading suspension performance.

Product Notes

  • Rear shock absorber with a 5-step position adjustment plate, allowing you to adjust the spring position and vehicle height to your individual needs.
  • Shock absorbers are designed exclusively for use with lowering springs. Installation with factory springs at standard ride height is incorrect.
