Product Details

These MTS Technik Street Series coilovers fit the 1979-1991 Mercedes-Benz 280 S Saloon Petrol (W126). The Street Series is the default setup MTS engineers suggest, with a wide range of lowering adjustment. It combines comfort and stiffness for spirited driving that stays usable every day.

MTS coilovers let you adjust the suspension height to your preference and to road conditions. The firmer suspension makes the car more predictable to drive.

With these MTS W126 280 S coilovers you can reset the ride height when you swap between larger summer wheels and smaller winter wheels.

Standard Features:

  • 2-year warranty with no mileage limit.
  • Corrosion-resistant components.
  • Twin-tube dampers for stable damping.
  • Gas pressure on the hydraulic fluid stops the oil from foaming, so the dampers keep working under continuous hard use.
  • The thread and its wide adjustment range let you set the ride height precisely.
  • hexaCOIL spring perch for easier height adjustment.
  • Shock bodies have a double layer of gold zinc and the adjusters are anodized aluminum, for corrosion resistance.
  • Coilover springs made by Eibach.
