Which suspension for a vRS

DirtyVec · 29-04-2008, 09:37

I need some advice guys.

My passenger front spring snapped yesterday so need to replace.

Unfortunately I dont have the budget for a set of coils so should I go normal OE springs again or try some lowering springs ?

Ive had a quick look through previous posts and I'm still no wiser

So whats the best springs to go for ?

Originals, H&R's, FKs, Eibachs etc etc

Any help would be highly appreciated as my head is done in and I need my car back asap

Update both Awesome and Jabba are saying if its just springs I'm after then to go for Eibachs

I'm sure Ive read on here thou that Eibach's are not very good on a vRS

My head is done right in now

**TaviaRS** · 29-04-2008, 10:03

I'd go eibachs

gmaster · 29-04-2008, 14:48

Yes mate im pretty sure eibach dont make a spring for the vrs, as i was told that when i had my koni fsd's fitted at jkm.

Johnny50 · 29-04-2008, 15:04

mattbeef · 29-04-2008, 16:48

Not according the latest on the official Eibach web site, they list a specific item for the Fabia vRS, but they still "DO NOT" list a specific spring for the Octy vRS.

I tried them and the car handled like a pregnant camel with tooth ache, but this subject has been talked about time and time again.

Johnny50 · 30-04-2008, 12:01

Hmm...i therefore stand corrected again !

Wonder why Jabba list them ?

They list the part number for the Golf/Audi fitments as EU20.85-001-01-022, but do not show a part number for the Octy vRS ???????

As Sarah at Awesome will confirm we have been on this topic many times before, and Eibach still do not show a specific fitment for the Octy vRS.

AwesomeSarah · 30-04-2008, 12:43

Yup
I agree , we have tried them on Gerry`s and it was a no no
The ones we have found that suit the vRS is the H&R ones as these are specific

Johnny50 · 30-04-2008, 12:52

I think i remember you telling me this before when i had my old (neo_vr's) new Octy when i was looking for springs Sarah.

AwesomeSarah · 30-04-2008, 13:05

Mmm
I do tend to get people towards the H&R ones
These are the only specific ones for the Octy vRS
Mmm
Sorry Sarah

Johnny50 · 30-04-2008, 13:06

I'd take a trip and see Sarah for some H&R's then.

How much can you get the H&R springs for? Do they work ok with koni fsd's.

Cheers.

AwesomeSarah · 30-04-2008, 15:08

Yes and yes
The price of the H&R springs is £150 + VAT
I hope that helps?
