Details

Every Stance+ Street Coilover Kit is designed and engineered in the UK, with every unit inspected throughout the manufacturing process. This kit for the VW Jetta MK 1 (53) Saloon is built from steel with a durable black powder-coated finish, and delivers the kind of ride quality and adjustability that has made Stance+ a trusted name in the tuning world.

Underneath, the kit uses FUCH oil-filled dampers matched to powder-coated chrome silicon springs, both uprated by around 25–30% for a sportier, more controlled feel. Hardened chrome piston rods and elastomer bump stops are built in for long-term durability, and helper springs are included where needed to prevent spring dislocation when the car is on a jack or ramp.
