Help! Lower susp on New Octavia vRS

beano · 23-05-2006, 10:40

Hi

Just bought my first Skoda and its a new Octavia vRS 2.0T FSI

. Have got the factory options I wanted (incl 18" wheels) but the car needs lowering by around 25mm to make it look the part

.

Anyone any advice and guidance? I don't want to ruin the ride in the process. Have tried the Jabba website but nothing on the new model (and they don't answer emails!)

.

Will also take any comments on ICE upgrade

.

Thanks
Brian

Eibach springs are avaliable from Awesome Gti to lower your car.

I thought the same at first, but nearly done 8k in it now, and the suspension has settled to a point where I think lowering it would spoil it.

ICE wise, the standard speakers sound good with a decent headset, and a sub in the boot.

Simple, if it was my money. I'd get some KW varient 3. Will lower it between 20 and 60mm. Part Number = 35282018

No question in my mind at all, they really are superb.
