I had these on my car for a while;

H&R / Springs / Skoda Octavia Estate 4WD, 2000> - Type: 1U, 4WD / Euro Performance Car Parts

Were they any good?.Or was the ride really harsh.What have you got now?

I did find them a little too low for the speed bumps around St Austell. Used to keep catching the metal sump guard everytime I went over a speed bump at anymore than a walking pace.
I've now got VW sport springs from a Golf 4motion estate. Not as low or hard as the H&R springs but lower than standard 4x4 springs.

don't go too low as you might end up with big bill, i have split my sump once already and battered the underside of my car loads. its better now i have raised by 25mm to maybe 25mm lower than a vRS
