No mate. The BC's height adjustment is separate to the spring preload so I could lower it to the point it was undriveable if I wanted lol I think once I get my Mitsi sold I'll keep some money saved to buy the cleanest one I can find. Ideally want something as standard as possible this time round or maybe breathed upon but only if it's done very very well.

Thanks mate. It was on BC Racing coilovers. Fantastic coilover for the money. Wheels were Merc reps in 19x8.5j ET42 on 225/35/19 tyres Hey Dean. Long time no speak. I actually sold the car earlier this year and truth be told I've missed it ever since. Starting to get notions of buying another MK1 vRS though as a toy to replace it.

I think you might be biased :P I definitely like the idea of carbon goodies Dean, cheers

Well I had the car at the local show season opener and biggest show in Northern Ireland over the weekend, Dubshed. To be happy with the car being inside I finally took the time to de-tar, clay bar and polish it. I also added Skoda centre caps to the new wheels to tie it all in and put some fitted carpet mats in it for the show. I'll keep my fitted rubber ones in for daily use. Planning a few more touches over the year but I'm undecided what I want to do first. Really considering bagging it but it's a lot of money I could put to good use elsewhere. Also thinking of getting the black headlights for it but haven't found many reviews on how good they are. Exhaust is on the cards too lol Any input would be much appreciated. Cheers, Aaron

No buddy. Keeping them for winter wheels. Cheers dude Maybe I will some day

So finally got my plate transferred onto the car and added more front camber to give me more clearance, think I need to drop the rear a bit but I really need to go find some proper flat ground and make my mind up there. Also gave it a bath yesterday

Thanks dude. I love them

Should be able to make it all being well Where are we thinking?

Well I finally got my wheels on at the weekend there! Then went home and washed it :P Love these wheels so much. Decided to go for a polished face instead as I feel it makes the wheel stand out more. Just need to fine tune my camber for a little bit more clearance on full suspension compression but I'm very happy with the height. Just need to get some centre caps made up and that's her done

This is awesome!!!

It all depends on the look you want for your car. I myself like things low, very low, so I went for some BC Racing coilovers and have dropped my car a good 60-70mm. If you don't want your car super low and enjoy having soft suspension and just want to subtly lower the car I'd take the advise of every one above and go for a good set of springs just. As for wheels the widest wheel you can fit reasonably without arch mods would be 9j wide with an offset of around ET41 but you would need a slight stretch on the tyre to ensure there are no rubbing issues. Something like a 225/35/19 tyre.

Got the Octavia all cleaned up yesterday morning for a local Cars & Coffee meet. Loving how it's sitting at the minute. Wheels are also ordered so looking forward to getting them fitted soon. Went for 19 x 8.5j wheels ET38 all round with 225/35/19 Kumho tyres Also loving the new site!

Better photo of the car all clean today :)

Hello everyone. Finally got round to fitting the coilovers over the Christmas holidays there. Please excuse the dirt and reverse rake. Haven't got round to fine tuning the stance yet or washing it with the awful weather :/ Hoping to get a set of these next month to fill the arches... C63S Wheels! :D
