Fabia 1.2 BlueLine: Which coil spring? (for sports (lowered) suspension)
@Carlston Thank you so much! Going to see if I can pick it up along the way between manchester and crawley so I can sort it out over the weekend. The dimensions does seem to line up with how much the car is lowered so this is looking promising! As for rear shock: 6Q0 513 025 AD It is listed as "shock absorber for the rear axle, for the Fabia RS (sports suspension)" As for the rear springs, nothing is coming up on skoda parts. Went through the list of springs and these 2 were labelled for sports/lowered suspension. 6Q0 511 115 AA spring rear axle, intended for vehicles with a sports chassis, colour coding: 1x orange, 1x blue, 2x white 6Q0 511 115 AF Coil spring for the rear shock absorber, genuine colour coding: 1x orange, 2x blue, 1x white, for vehicles with a sports (lowered) suspension. We recommend that you verify the compatibility of this part with your vehicle's VIN.

Fabia 1.2 BlueLine: Which coil spring? (for sports (lowered) suspension)
@toot I need to change it because my driver side coil spring has corroded from the top and a little bit has snapped off as well

Fabia 1.2 BlueLine: Which coil spring? (for sports (lowered) suspension)
@toot I am honestly surprised by how little options are out there. I want to try keep the lowered suspension as the car is a beaut to drive around bends. But logic says just to go standard shocks + standard springs, given the huge price difference between the sports and standard. Part of me is also thinking to just get standard springs and compress them enough to fit the sports suspensions. But not sure if that is even possible or the safety aspect for that setup

@Carlston Also got curious about the options codes. These were the codes for the suspension: G04 = Front shock absorption L26 = Suspension range 26 installation control only, no requirement forecast

Fabia 1.2 BlueLine: Which coil spring? (for sports (lowered) suspension)
@Carlston as @toot linked, this is a special edition fabia that skoda made. I looked at v5 just now, it is listed as 70hp 140g/km BZG engine. From factrory these come with lowered suspensions. I found the official part from this website by providing my vin number. https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/6q0411105aq-suspension-spring-front-axle-skoda-41771.html Usually typing the part number in google, you get some answers for alternative aftermarket parts. But this time I got nothing. Even if i find dimensions, i can try find something. But seems like this is one off part for this model? The reg is GY09EUJ - if it helps

Fabia 1.2 BlueLine: Which coil spring? (for sports (lowered) suspension)
I have a 09 reg Skoda Fabia 1.2 BlueLine (BZG 51kw 70hp - fabia 2 htp). I believe this is the car that comes with lowered suspension as standard. Now, one of the front coil spring has snapped off from the top. I am looking to replace the coil spring (and probably suspension as well). After doing hours of research, I found the part numbers (via skoda-parts) that relate to my car but I am struggling to find aftermarket variant for coil spring. The part numbers i found: Coil Spring: 6Q0 411 105 AQ Colour coding: 3x red, 2x yellow, for vehicles with a sports (lowered) chassis/suspension Suspension: 6Q0 413 031 BL Found plenty of aftermarket variant (from bilstein/sachs) Does anyone have any details on spring dimensions that i should be using? the standard seems to be 350mm and does specify that it is for standard suspension. I have found local TPS and skoda-parts selling the correct part but they are £85 + VAT each. Where as the standard springs are from £10 each. I am thinking if its better to just get standard suspension/spring combo and fit them in (not sure if this is even possible or need to consider other things) - the car is high mileage (130k). Would appreciate your help on this!
