The Superb MK3 can leave with factory with increased ride height, standard ride height, or lowered ride height. Many Superb MK3 owners find the suspension on the soft side, but the spring rates are similar to the Passat B8...so it may be down to the shock absorbers. The cheapest way to improve the handling is to fit slightly stiffer rear springs, such as the rear springs from the estate, ie. 3Q0511115M. A more expensive way to improve the handling is to fit Bilstein B6 shock absorbers (if standard ride height) or Bilstein B8 shock absorbers (if lowered ride height). Before making any final decisions on what rear springs to go for, it's best to check what rear springs the car left the factory with. Creating an account on "skoda parts com" and parking the car (with its VIN number) in the online garage enables you to find the rear springs that the car left the factory with. Rear springs (according to the Kilen online spring catalogue) Superb MK3 2.0TSI 272PS 4x4 hatchback 3Q0511115AL Superb MK3 2.0TSI 272PS 4x4 estate 3Q0511115M Below, I've used the Sachs listings on autodoc to find out what the approximate specification of 3Q0511115AL and 3Q0511115M rear springs are. In the Superb MK3 parts catalogue, 3Q0511115M is shown as one up in the hierarchy compared to 3Q0511115AL. Sachs rear springs matching 3Q0511115AL Length 359mm Wire diameter 12.5mm Number of coil turns 8.0 Sachs rear springs matching 3Q0511115M Length 360mm Wire diameter 12.75mm Number of coil turns 8.0 Kilen 65126 rear springs (matches 3Q0511115M) (about £34 each) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352663645884

Is the 2023 Superb MK3 2.0TSI 272PS 4x4 a hatchback or estate? Does the car have standard ride height suspension or lowered ride height suspension? Does the car have DCC (electronic damping control) shock absorbers? When it comes to the springs, the front springs are the same on both the hatchback and estate, when all other things are equal...but the rear springs are usually a little stiffer on the estate compared to the equivalent hatchback. Lowered ride height suspension is also known as sports suspension. Lowered ride height suspension has a nominal 15mm lower ride height compared to standard ride height suspension. On the Superb MK3, the springs on the lowered ride suspension are about the same stiffness as the springs on the standard ride height suspension. Hence, even lowered ride height cars have soft suspension. Bilstein B6 shock absorbers are for use with standard ride height springs, and Bilstein B8 shock absorbers are for use with lowered ride height springs. The main difference between Bilstein B6 shock absorbers and Bilstein B8 shock absorbers is that the Bilstein B8 shock absorbers are about 20mm shorter than the Bilstein B6 shock absorbers. Bilstein B6 shock absorbers (Superb MK3) (without DCC) (standard ride height) Front 35-229872 Rear 24-229890 Bilstein B8 shock absorbers (Superb MK3) (without DCC) (lowered ride height) Front 35-229919 Rear 24-229937

In the Skoda parts catalogue, the Superb MK3 estate 4x4 (standard ride height) has the same ten rear springs listed as the Superb MK3 estate FWD (Front Wheel Drive) (standard ride height). The only difference is that the Superb MK3 estate 4x4 (with standard ride height) will have slightly stiffer rear springs as standard compared to the Superb MK3 estate FWD. So probably around 3Q0511115M rather than 3Q0511115AK. Two up in the hierarchy from 3Q0511115M is 3Q0511115P. Sachs 992379 rear springs (matches 3Q0511115P) Length 361mm Wire diameter 13.5mm Number of coil turns about 8.0 Kilen and Lesjofors make a spring that is sold to replace both 3Q0511115N and 3Q0511115P, but should match 3Q0511115P as this is the stiffer spring of the two. Lesjofors 4295137 rear spring (sold to replace 3Q0511115N and 3Q0511115P, so probably a 3Q0511115P rear spring) (same as Kilen 65127) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115p There's a seller on ebay that can supply the car's build codes for 3 Euros (about £2.50). If the car has build codes 1JA and 0YE the rear springs have OEM part number 3Q0511115M. Search "skoda vin decoder" to find the listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226517872578

If it's a FWD (and not a 4x4) with standard ride height (and not lowered ride height, ie. sports suspension) then it might have 3Q0511115AK rear springs. You can find out what rear springs the car has by creating an account on "skoda parts com" and adding it to the online garage using the car's VIN number. Then when you search for rear springs, only the correct ones are shown. If it does have 3Q0511115AK rear springs, then a good option to enable the car to support more weight is to go up two in the hierarchy, so that the rear springs are about 10% stiffer than standard. Two up in the hierarchy from 3Q0511115AK is 3Q0511115M.

It looks like the F11-79-008-01-HA rear spring (and E10-79-012-04-22 kit) isn't for a Superb MK3...but a Superb MK2 and other VAG cars that were based on the Golf MK5/MK6... The eibach de website has an online catalogue that should list suitable kits. https://www.eibach.de/en/iam

The Fabia MK3's spare wheel (185/60R15 6Jx15 ET38) has an outside diameter 3.0% smaller than the Fabia MK4's spare wheel (185/65R15 5.5Jx15 ET40). Additionally, the Fabia MK3's spare wheel (185/60R15 6Jx15 ET38) has an inflated width that is about 6mm wider than the Fabia MK4's spare wheel (185/65R15 5.5Jx15 ET40). The offset is also 2mm different, ie. ET38 vs ET40. That additional 6mm in inflated width, might result in the carpet being lifted...but you would have to check if you just happened to have an old Fabia MK3 spare wheel lying around. The 2mm reduction in offset might also add to the carpet lifting problem that can occur when the wrong spare wheel is used in the spare wheel well.

The OP has a Fabia MK4, not a Fabia MK3. 6V0093860B and 6V0601011M are both Fabia MK3 part numbers.

The below foam and jack kit can be ordered for the Fabia MK4 from any VAG parts department by quoting the relevant OEM part number, ie. 6VA093860A. The VAG parts department can confirm whether this is correct for your vehicle by reference to the car's VIN number. The Czech price on "skoda eshop cz" is 2079CZK which is about £74.

According to Jurid on autodoc, both the hatchback and estate versions of the Superb MK2 2.0TDI 140HP 4x4 have 282x12mm rear brake discs (build code 1KJ). These have TRW rear brake calipers.

If you want more sidewall height, changing to smaller diameter rims such as 14" or 15" would be a better choice than oversize 17" such as 205/45R17. 14" rims clear the 256x22mm front brake discs, whereas 15" rims clear the 288x25mm front brake discs. 288x25mm front brake discs are the biggest fitted to the Fabia MK2 as standard, so 15" rims can be fitted to all models...but for 14" rims you need to make sure that the front brake discs aren't bigger than 256x22mm, otherwise the 14" rims won't clear the front brake calipers. You might find that the Fabia MK2 has the 288x25mm front brake discs only with engines that have at least 105HP, but check the car's build codes to be sure in case there are exceptions.

The OEM part number for the lower wishbone on the Superb MK2, Octavia MK2, and Yeti is 1K0505311AB. This applies to all models, so includes both FWD and 4x4. What make and model of lower wishbone did the garage fit? What make and model of rear spring did the garage fit? "skoda parts com" list both Lemforder and SKF as two alternatives to the genuine Skoda part for the lower wishbone with OEM part number 1K0505311AB https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/1k0505311ab-lower-rear-axle-arm-skf-52574.html

For the Superb MK2 2.0TDI 170HP FWD with standard ride height, Kilen list 1K0511115DF rear springs. Perhaps try the equivalent increased ride height rear springs, ie. 1K0511115CR. 1K0511115CR is about 20mm longer than 1K0511115DF...as you might expect from an increased ride height spring. To find out what rear springs the car left the factory with, you can use the website "skoda parts com" and put the car in the online garage using its VIN number. Then when the rear springs are searched for, only the correct ones are shown. Sachs 994336 is sold to replace 1K0511115CR (other choices are available) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/396315502720
