Looks very smart, mate 8)

oilburninnut · 19-01-2008, 17:47

TDi Vrs · 19-01-2008, 17:48

looks awesome mate fitted my 312mm brakes and eibach springs today too. brakes are spot on.

myfatcow · 19-01-2008, 17:49

The rears are right down and the fronts are about to the fixing for thee front arb

vrswhite · 19-01-2008, 17:49

octavia vrs wheels look soooo much better

okeh · 19-01-2008, 17:50

very nice

I want to lower my car
but if i did i wouldnt be able to get the car onto my sloping drive

jasc1988 · 19-01-2008, 17:51

How much has it improved handling as we all know the fabia's handeling is pants? i have some Eibachs ready to fit wondering if i should get some coilovers. My car is almost identical to yours, exept xenon's and the front grille

devonutopia · 19-01-2008, 17:51

Very nice, but I can't run mine that low as I'd be scraping metal on tyre with being spaced out 15mm.

Have to ask - why was you/your mate in the engine bay around the turbo intake pipe. Is there something you're not telling us? THIS pic.

Edit: Just twigged he might be doing up the top mount bolts.

bonelorry · 19-01-2008, 17:54

looks great, those octavia alloys really do suit the fabia

the coilovers will be far superior to the lowering springs,but there is allways a compromise,performance will be much better,ride will be worse

to be honest its your fault that i got coil overs i saw you thread with the photoshoped pics and changed my mind on the eibachs and went for coilovers. i havent really had a good drive yet but i must say it dose feel like its stuck to road a lot more and ir really cuts down the front dive.

budfox · 19-01-2008, 18:15

That is one pretty vRS

oilburninnut · 19-01-2008, 18:19

just studying those pics,and in conclusion,get those fronts wound down,if your man enough

vrs jamez27 · 19-01-2008, 18:21

Looks sweet mate, nice work!

i would like to but it would cause rubing i think onn your car with the 16's you would probably get away with it being lower

or am i just a bit ols skool

skudmissile · 19-01-2008, 18:33

They look spot mate.

The 312's are too a very good mod, makes braking so much safer

KW are by far the most superiour suspension manufacturer

I am toying with the idea of of the V1's

Come on gary get into gear and get yours on
