How much to lower suspension

stephenSF · 06-07-2008, 13:06

I was just wondering, since day one I have wanted the suspension lowered on my fabia, is it an expensive undertaking?

stephenSF · 14-07-2008, 12:22

Any idea on what the procedure is, if not the cost?
Thanks

We sell the springs a few people on here have bought them , as for how long....depends how competent you are i suppose.?

No it isn't expensive. Look on Eibachs website, I am sure they do a kit of springs and shocks for the Fabia II as I know a guy who has lowered his Fabia Sport using Eibach parts. It certainly does look a lot better when it sits just that little bit lower.

I am not in the least bit competent. I would have to get someone to do it for me.

Also, what exactly would I need to supply to whoever was doing it. I have checked out the eibachs website but can't find a Skoda option on the list of makes.

i got my springs from awsome-gti for about £90 for some 40mm konis. i got them fitted by a mates garage for £50, but he had all the kit needed.

Anyone got any nice pics of their lowered efforts?

bought mine from horton skoda, been dropped about 55mm. i did the fronts and got skoda to do the rears. cost me 66 quid to have the rears done. car doesnt look slammed on eibachs, just not on stilts!!

stephenSF · 14-07-2008, 20:42

That looks nice mole. Are they the larger alloys?

stephenSF · 14-07-2008, 20:43

Also does doing this affect your warranty / insurance?

mole · 15-07-2008, 05:10

yeah its the fabia3 so its the larger wheels. as for warranty i think it only voids the warranty on the springs/shocks, unless your get skoda to fit them. and you are inclined to tell your insurance of any modification.

We have done about 4 new Fabias they look great especially with Octavia VRS 17" alloys on them!

stephenSF · 15-07-2008, 16:31

I've only got the 15" alloys unfortunately.
