Page Not Responding

these are on ebay and I would like to know ppls oppinion?

Are they good nd what will they do to my Octy vRS?

will the car handle better and when they say the amount they lower the car by, do they mean the amount on a standard octy oz the vRS is a tad lowere is it not?

If ppl dont think these are that good, what do you recomend.

I am after a kit that only really lowers my car by 20-30 mm on the front and 10-20 on the back.

is there anything out there?

cheers

I fitted the Jamex kit to mine, looks great, fully height adjustable from 30mm to about 100mm (despite what the adds claim). had a problem with the rear cups as they sent me ones for a Mk4 Golf! however they sent the correct ones and some more rear springs (anyone with a Mk 4 golf wanting to drop the rear?) Kit was about £290 delivered. They are advertised on e-bay. They arent fully adjustable ie - Damping /rebound but u hardly have any roll and height is very easy to adjust. You could always stick Koni's on for about twice the price but this kit has been ok so far. Dont think you will get one that only does 10-20mm on the rear.

I would also be a bit weary of the set your looking at as when I was looking all the manufacturers quoted different kits for the Octavia VRS and this one says it fits all models?

cheers what sort of price is it for fitting? does the car need to be on jacks to adjust the hight?

What do ppl think of the J Tec kits?

I think you also have to be careful with what kit you buy as the universal ones don't generally fit the VRS, as the VRS has the Front anti roll bar mounted to the tie bars fixed to the front struts and the other octavia models don't. This is what I was told when looking for kits for mine. I have Eibach Pro kit springs fitted to my Koni FSD shocks. These only lowerred my car very slightly approx 15mm front and rear. I am looking for springs to lower mine around 30-35 mm. Does not seem many around for the VRS. Someone has weitec springs on there VRS n this site, but i have not seen the vrs listed on the weitec site.
