Thats a good looking car! The 19's look great. Can't seem to find any spacers on the H&R website for mine though, so going to have a look elsewhere

Looks great!! What size spacers are they?

Cheers for the info Greg. Do you have a pic of what it looks like lowered with spacers?

Hi all, After some opinions and advice on a couple of ideas I've got in mind for my Octavia VRS... DTUK CRD-T tuning box (I'm not keen on mapping the car, and like the idea of being able to unplug this if I need to...) I'm thinking of lowering it (springs only, not coilovers, due to cost really) Wheel spacers (maybe 15mm front & rear but really not sure on this yet) Maybe a few other bits here and there but nothing too major... Do in need to be aware of any potential issues with doing any of these? Springs are easy enough, as are the spacers... but would I need extended wheel bolts or anything else? Cheers in advance!

Thanks! Yeah I thought so too. The Mrs and I had a baby and the Civic wasn't big enough. I wish I'd bought an estate though, and the TSI rather than TDI. Otherwise, its awesome!

Haha, it's Jamie . But Ciao will do :). Had a load of electrical issues with the first VRS I bought - turns out the previous owner had tampered with the wiring behind the dash and had badly wired in some sort of box to the steering column - upon removing the glovebox, I was met with a mess or wires and zip ties!! God knows why they did this. Had faults with the DRLs, cruise control, and lane guidance. It went back to the dealer I bought it from who had it for nearly 5 weeks trying to fix it but couldn't. Skoda UK were even sending their Technical team out. Eventually I had enough and rejected the car. Replaced it with the one I've got now, and couldn't be happier with it

Hello everyone, New to the forum, and fairly new to Skoda too! I currently drive a 2014 Octavia VRS in Magic Black. I'm the second owner, and its done 23000 miles. I LOVE IT!! (Had a Race Blue one before that, but I had a few problems with so it went back to the dealer - Long story!) I've been used to hot hatches in the past - spent the last 5 years in a 2008 Honda Civic Type R (FN2), and before that was a Ford Focus ST170 for a couple of years. So far, I'm really impressed with my VRS! It's an awesome machine, and goes really well! Already planning a few upgrades, as its just out of warranty now, so might be asking for some advice soon! Would be good to meet some of you in the future, so will be keeping an eye on the 'events' sections etc. I live in Warwickshire, not far from Stratford Upon Avon. Anyway, enough chat, I've got some upgrades to plan! Ciao
