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.

TRW GDB1330 rear brake pads will fit all Scala models. They are currently available on Amazon.de for 23.80 Euros (about £20.45) which includes shipping to the UK and UK VAT. The rear brake calipers on the Scala are made by TRW, so it makes sense to go for TRW rear brake pads.

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

The Kamiq alloy rims from the standard Skoda parts catalogue are very expensive...perhaps 2.5 times the price of the same wheels (except for the OEM part number) from the Skoda alloy rim accessory catalogue. However, not all factory alloy rims are matched in this accessory catalogue...but it's worth checking. Skoda alloy rims with OEM part number format xxx601xxx are from the standard parts catalogue, whereas Skoda alloy rims with OEM part number format xxx701xxx are from the accessory catalogue. These can be ordered from any VAG parts department by quoting the relevant OEM part number.

To help understand what ADAS is, the below information was found using AI...However, I doubt replacing or repairing a damaged alloy wheel would require ADAS (if any is fitted) to be recalibrated. In VAG (Volkswagen Group) cars, ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It is a collection of electronic safety and comfort features—utilizing front cameras, radar units, and ultrasonic sensors—designed to monitor the vehicle's surroundings, warn the driver of hazards, and actively intervene with braking or steering to prevent accidents. Common VAG ADAS Features Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a set speed and safe gap from the vehicle ahead. Lane Assist: Tracks road lines and provides steering input to keep the car centered. Front Assist / Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects sudden obstacles or pedestrians and applies brakes. Side Assist / Blind Spot Monitoring: Warns of vehicles hidden in adjacent lanes. Park Assist: Automates steering inputs during parallel or bay parking. Importance and Maintenance in VAG Vehicles Safety Compliance: Meets modern UK and EU vehicle safety mandates. Precision Calibration: Requires specialized diagnostic alignment whenever a windshield, bumper, or radar sensor is replaced or repaired.

The pattern for the front brakes appears to be the engine power, where all engines with more than 95HP get the big 288x25mm front brake discs with the exception that the 1.6TDI 90HP also gets the big 288x25mm front brake discs. So all engines with up to and including 95HP (except for the 1.6TDI 90HP which gets the big 288x25mm front brake discs) get the small 256x22mm front brake discs. Always check the build codes to be sure, in case there are exceptions...or do a physical check...or go on "skoda parts com" and park you car in the online garage (then when you search for parts such as front brake discs, only the correct ones are shown). "skoda parts com" website https://www.skoda-parts.com/online-store.html Have you messaged Breezy_Pete with your VIN, as the subscription service he uses for things like build codes and OEM part numbers takes away any guesswork...although the "skoda parts com" website should also give 100% accurate results.

All Rapids use the following rear brake discs... 230x9mm rear brake discs (build code 1KT) (TRW rear brake system) The pattern for the front brakes appears to be the engine power, where all engine with more than 95HP get the big 288x25mm front brake discs with the exception that the 1.6TDI 90HP also get the big 288x25mm front brake discs. So all engine with up to and including 95HP (except for the 1.6TDI 90HP which gets the big 288x25mm front brake discs) get the small 256x22mm front brake discs.

6Q0511115AK has build code 0YJ, which is one lower in the hierarchy compared to 6Q0511115AL with its 0YK build code...so 6Q0511115AL is still the one to go for.

As the Fabia MK1 currently has 185/60R14, that was probably what was fitted to the car in the factory. If the spare wheel is also 185/60R14 that would also add to the evidence that the car was fitted with this tyre size in the factory. Notice in the chart below, that the 165/70R14 and 185/60R14 tyres use different rim specifications, ie. the wider tyre uses a 1" wider rim and 8mm more offset (43mm offset instead of the narrower tyre's 35mm offset). ET is the abbreviation of the German word EinpressTiefe and means offset. Increasing the offset from 35mm to 43mm moves the centre of the tyre (and the centre of the rim) 8mm further into the wheelarch. It's common for wider tyres to have more offset than narrower tyres so that the outside edge of the tyre isn't too close to the outside of the wheelarch. 14" wheel specification (Fabia MK1) 165/70R14 5Jx14 ET35 185/60R14 6Jx14 ET43

Kilen/Lesjofors list the standard rear springs on the Fabia MK2 1.2TSI estate as 6Q0511115M. However, it's best to check using more accurate methods...such as the car's build codes or the "skoda parts com" website. On the "skoda parts com" website, to find out what rear springs the car left the factory with, you can set up a free account and park the car in the online garage using its VIN number. Then when you search for the rear springs, only the correct ones are shown...thereby allowing you to find the correct OEM part number. 6Q0511115M rear springs are marked with 1 orange dot, 2 yellow dots, 1 orange dot. The corresponding build code is 0YD. If 6Q0511115M are the factory fitted rear springs, then going up to 6Q0511115AL would be a sensible option. As you can see in the chart below, 6Q0511115AL is about 15% stiffer than 6Q0511115M...due to both the increase in wire diameter and the reduction in the number of coil turns (both of which make the spring stiffer). It appears that the 6Q0511115AL rear springs are used on the equivalent Fabia MK3, ie. Fabia MK3 1.2TSI estate. Note that the Fabia MK2 Scout (estate) doesn't have increased ride height, but standard ride height. Also note that the 6Q0511115AL rear springs are listed in both the Fabia MK2 and Fabia MK3 parts catalogue. Also, also, note that the 6Q0511115AL rear springs have an uncompressed length that is 9mm shorter than 6Q0511115M...at least according to Sachs...so the Fabia MK2 1.2TSI Scout (estate) should have about the same unladen ride height with either springs...except that once a heavy load is added to the stiffer 6Q0511115AL rear springs the rear end won't sag as much compared to the softer 6Q0511115M rear springs. Specification of rear springs 6Q0511115M, wire diameter 10.0mm, number of coil turns 8.8 6Q0511115AL wire diameter 10.25mm, number of coil turns 8.0 (about 15% stiffer compared to 6Q0511115M) The car's build codes can be obtained from an ebay seller for 3 Euros (about £2.50) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226517872578 Kilen 63146 rear springs (matches 6Q0511115AL) (about £30 each, including UK shipping) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392296331679

There are two "foam and jack kits" (which includes everything except for the actual spare saver spare wheel, for the Kodiaq MK2. One of the "foam and jack kits" is for the Kodiaq MK2 5-seater and the other is for the Kodiaq MK2 7-seater. Neither will fit a hybrid version where the battery is in the spare wheel well. Both kits are only for a 145/85R18 4Jx18 ET28 space saver spare wheel. There is room for a space saver spare wheel with the Kodiaq MK2 mild-hybrid (NOT plug-in), because the batteries on these are tiny (probably less than 1kWh capacity) and are fitted under the front passenger seat rather than in the spare wheel well.

The 80km/h speed restriction is only relevant if the tyre sizes don't match. Many Fabia MK3 owners will have tyres sizes different from 185/60R15, such as 215/45R16...so in that case the 80km/h speed restriction would be relevant. If you want, you can remove the yellow speed restriction sticker as it's not relevant to this car.

3 Red 1 Green is a 6Q0411105M front spring. This is a lowered ride height front spring, which is what you would expect for the Greenline. The 6Q0411105AE front spring is completely wrong for the car, as it is a standard ride height spring for a much lighter car. 6Q0411105M front spring https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/6q0411105m?supplier%5B%5D=253&supplier%5B%5D=32&supplier%5B%5D=246 Lesjofors 4085720 front spring (matches 6Q0411105M) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197494987410

I would try 205/60R16 6Jx16 ET35 (non-standard offset for this tyre size and not guaranteed to fit with snow chains) on the Kamiq with snow chains from the Octavia MK4. These Octavia MK4 snow chains fit 205/60R16 6.5Jx16 ET48 wheels on the Octavia MK4...but clearance is not guaranteed on the Kamiq...although there only needs to be a few extra millimetres of clearance compared to the guaranteed 195/60R16 6Jx16 ET35 option on the Kamiq for rubbing not to occur. The 18" wheels would be sold, perhaps individually because owners are often damaging them due to their vulnerability...and single wheels are easier to post than a set of four.

The Kamiq owner's manual only lists the 16" winter wheel size for use with snow chains (with links and locks that are no larger than 13mm), ie. 195/60R16 6Jx16 ET35...not the factory fitted 205/60R16 6Jx16 ET38/ET40 wheel sizes. The alloy rims on 215/45R18 7Jx18 wheels have very little protection from kerbing damage (because the sidewalls don't bulge out much), so are probably best avoided if deep snow is hiding where the kerbs are.

135/80R17 has a bigger outside diameter than 125/70R18. However, 135/80R18 will be an even closer match to the Karoq tyre sizes. 135/80R18 could be fitted to the same 3.5Jx18 ET25.5 steel space saver rim that the 125/70R18 uses.

As it's increased ride height, the centre-hub-to-top-of-wheel-arch measurement should be the same as the Scout. The reason the Scout is higher, is because of the bigger outside diameter tyres that it uses...as shown in the chart below. Compared to the 205/55R16 tyre size, the 225/50R17 has an outside diameter 24.9mm bigger...so will raise the ride height by 12.45mm when everything else is equal. Outside diameter of tyres (Octavia MK2) 205/55R16 631.9mm (non-Scout tyre size) 225/45R17 634.3mm (non-Scout tyre size) 225/50R17 656.8mm (Scout tyre size)

205/55R16 6Jx16 ET35 isn't in the car's CoC (Certificate of Conformity)...hence it isn't approved by Skoda. 205/55R16 6Jx16 ET35 could be used as a spare because spare wheels don't have to be in the CoC...but this is an economy measure, so it would be better to use a wheel specification that's in the car's CoC. In strict European countries, the wheels on the car (not including the spare wheel that's used as a temporary get you home measure) need to be in the car's CoC. So if it's 16" wheels on the Kamiq, the only specifications are 195/60R16 6Jx16 ET35 (winter tyre size, but can also be used with summer and all-season tyres), 205/60R16 6Jx16 ET38 and 205/60R16 ET40.

That's a 205/55R16 6Jx16 ET35 5/100 57.1 steel wheel...which is the wrong tyre size for the Kamiq. The correct wheel sizes for the Kamiq are 195/60R16 6Jx16 ET35 (winter tyre size), 205/60R16 6Jx16 ET38, or 205/60R16 6Jx16 ET40. Skoda parts department may have poorly chosen the 205/55R16 tyre size because it's cheaper than the correct tyre sizes for the Kamiq, ie. 195/60R16 or 205/60R16. Skoda don't approve 205/55R16 for the Kamiq, ie. it won't be in the car's CoC (Certificate of Conformity). The spare tyre doesn't have to be listed in the car's CoC, so although a non-standard tyre size could be used it's has a much smaller outside diameter than the Skoda approved tyre sizes...as shown in the chart below. Outside diameter of tyre 205/55R16 631.9mm (not a Skoda recommended tyre size) 195/60R16 640.4mm (winter tyre size) 205/60R16 652.4mm 205/55R17 657.3mm 215/45R18 650.7mm It's best to order a spare wheel kit without the actual spare wheel (ie. the foam and jack kit), and purchase a spare wheel separately. This way you can select the tyre and rim that you want, and not accept the undersize tyre that VAG parts departments are selling for the Kamiq. The spare wheel kit (everything, except for the actual spare wheel) can be ordered from "skoda parts com" for about £55 including UK VAT and delivery to the UK from Czech. "skoda parts com" pay the UK 20% VAT, so there's no extra VAT to pay on delivery. It can also be ordered from any VAG parts department, by quoting the relevant OEM part number (eg. 658093860 or 658093860A).

Bilstein B4 22-230539 front shock absorbers and Bilstein B4 19-230559 rear shock absorbers do appear to be the ones to go for...if you want Bilstein B4 for an Octavia MK3 with lowered ride height, 55mm front struts, and multi-link rear suspension.
