Thanks for the advice. The mileage is 120000 miles and it has well documented service history, car runs spot on ive only changed coil packs and service the car since ive had it. Whats the safety margin then what should i do then to prevent anything going wrong...

Id be happy with 300. So i can keep the internals standard at this power rate and be ok? Thank u

Hi can anyone help me? I'm going to be fitting a custom gt28rs turbo with Bam injectors and bits to my vrs soon and want to know what I need to make sure the car will run it safefully. Will the internals put up with 300bhp? Ive been told once all fitted and mapped the car is capable of 300 to 350bhp. I've read that high power figures the engine will need better con rods.. Can someone who knows about this tell me exactly what I should be doing and what I need. Thank you

Thanks I think I'm gonna get these also. Have you anymore plans for your car? I'm trying to buy a gt28rs turbo and few bits and bobs.

Hey that looks great so what springs are in your car then what make are they? The Koni street suspension 20mm?

That looks great, yeah can you take a picture of the whole car to see how she sits at the back also? So it will lower even more once the springs are (broke in) ? Its looks sweet. Yes keep us posted mate. Any other mods?

well are they on ur car ?

great mate plz post some pics I'd love to see them on ur car and ur car aswell have u done much work to her?

I had cheap springs in and they were only 30mm and they were lower than that. lol

cheers lads I'll check those yous are all great help!

Hi what would the height be on this vrs octavia?

Hi my Octavia vrs mk1 has a funny sound on idle. It sounds like a metal tingly noise and it's not the tapping noise you get on the 1.8t. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

oops my bad haha

Mk1 obviously lol.

So has anyone any mods on their vrs? I get like a tingling metal sound when my car is idling.. not sure what it is

do u have some pics with the springs in?

Hi what suspension setup have you got on your vrs, I like the first 2 pics at the very top.

have u got them fitted yet?

Can u post pictures of the springs on the car?

Post some pictures of her once you have them fitted so I can see how she sits Bet they will look good

Are you getting them fitted soon? Can you post pictures?? I take it they will sit like the vrs in the pictures. Mine sat low and looked really stupid. Has anyone had their vrs mapped yet? I'm looking at getting mine mapped.. I put a Pipercross panel filter in mine and it's getting terrible mpg.. I get around 20s and less unless I drive light footed and I'd get maybe 30 but that's really being light. Doesn't seem right. I'm actually putting the original back in to see if it goes back and it's not a vacuum leak. Anyone had theirs mapped yet? I got a quote from revo for 360 for a stage 1? that's around 210bhp.

I did, they were on the highest setting and it still looked like an invisible sumo wrestler was sitting on top of my car. It was squashed looking and ridiculous lol. The rear suspension also sat lower than the front despite all being on the highest thread. Looked stupid and too low Can anyone please tell me what the suspension setup on the car in the pictures would be and the recommended ones to buy please? Thanks for all who reply. Sean

Hi yesIamtom, thank you for the reply, Do you happen to have any pictures of your car with the suspension fitted ? I'm not really looking for the car to handle better, more for it to look nicer sat. It looks a bit high standard even though it's lower than a standard octavia. I want it just like in the pictures. What mm would that be? Thanks. Sean.

Hi all this is my first post I've just joined. I'm new to briskoda. I have just bought a vrs and would like to better the car with a nicer suspension setup and would like to know the best cheap mods I can do on the car like a remap etc. My question is that I'm looking to make the car sit better and I bought prosport coil overs and had them fitted. The car looked ridiculous and squashed so I put the originals back in. They were 35mm I think. I want the car to sit like this and not sure what height this would be but hoping somebody has a clue. It almost looks standard but just sits perfect.. What suspension do I need ? Cheers. Sean.
