Hi all, I know there are loads of threads on here about this and I've read most of them but all that has done is confuse me even more !! I have a 2018 Sportline hatch 220 petrol. It feels very wallowy compared to my previous Octavia VRS 245 and I would like to try and sort it out of possible. I dont want to lower the car as I sometimes go onto building sites with rough car parks and I also like how it looks at stock height. What I want to try and do it firm it up a bit (ok a lot) and try and control some of the wallowy and loose feeling it has. I've read so much about the Koni Special active dapmers being goof for this but then read they don't last long. Then I've read about Bilstien B6 being slightly firmer and good as an alternative. Plan is to keep the car for at least 3 years plus so dont mind spending on decent kit that will last. I think I also need to replace the top mounts at the same time as I have some slight low speed knocking at the moment too. What are peoples thoughts? are the SA lasting now or still an unknown quantity? Should I go for the B6? I reckon I can change the rears my self to keep cost down and then get someone to do the fronts? Any recommendations on top mounts to use? Thanks all.

Hi all, Recently picked up a 2.0 petrol sportline and for the best part I'm extremely happy with it. However I've noticed a knocking noise coming from the front of the dashboard area at low speed. I thought it may have been dry seals on the sunroof but Ive coated them and its made no difference. The car drives find and doesn't clunk coming on and off the drive. Its as though the car body is flexing and causing a knock somewhere? Anyone had similar?

Afternoon everyone. Just thought I'd pop a post up to say hi. Was on here for quite a bit a few year back when I owned two mk3 & mk3.5 Octavia VRS. I sold them due to moving into a company car which Im now losing due to moving jobs and have bought a 2018 Superb sportline 220 as my daily driver. Plan is to give it a good clean and maybe a stage one map at some point but no rush.
