  2. Higher load index 3Q0511115N rear springs are standard ride height, so would match the standard ride height front springs. The reason that J.R. would have fitted complementary front springs (ie. increased ride height front springs) is because he fitted increased ride height rear springs to a car that had standard ride height front springs. If you fit standard ride height rear springs to a car that has standard ride height front springs, there is no need to change the front springs.

  4. If you currently have 3Q0511115M rear springs, then going up just one weight range to 3Q0511115N should make a big difference.

  5. As you are fitting standard ride height shock absorbers, I suggest you first try standard ride height springs. There's a much better choice of aftermarket springs that are standard ride height, compared to lowered ride height springs. For example, some possible standard ride height springs are as follows. Notice that you do have the option of choosing 10mm lower front ride height springs compared to the normal standard ride height front springs. The VW Passat B8 uses the 5Q0411105CH front springs, so that would be a good place to start. The Superb MK3 hatchback and estate 2WD and Passat B8 hatchback 2WD use 3Q0511115AK rear springs. The Passat B8 estate 2WD uses 3Q0511115AL rear springs, which are 5% stiffer than 3Q0511115AK. So I suggest you try 5Q0411105CH front springs and 3Q0511115AL rear springs, ie. the springs from the Passat B8 estate 2WD. Bear in mind, that the lowered ride height springs on the Superb MK3 are the same stiffness as the standard springs, so the ones I am suggesting are 5% stiffer but standard ride height except for a 10mm drop on the front (so these 10mm lower front springs are actually between standard ride height and lowered ride height). If you ever find the 5% stiffer springs a little on the stiff side, simply use smaller diameter rims and tyres with bigger sidewalls. Perhaps even oversize 235/60R16 or 225/55R17. You can get some forged alloy 7Jx16 ET45 rims from old Audi A4/A6 cars around the year 2000 that only weigh about 7.3kg each. This is around half the weight of the very heavy standard 19" alloy rims, so it's possible to save about 30kg of unsprung weight by using these. The Superb MK3 2.0TDI 200HP 2WD hatchback with increased ride height, probably uses slightly thicker/stiffer anti-roll bars compared to the standard ride height car. If so, the cornering/handling will be tighter, ie. better controlled, even on the 5Q411105GM front springs and 3Q0511115AK rear springs. It's worth getting a print-out of all your car's build codes, so that you can check what anti-roll bars you have fitted. There's a seller on ebay that charges about 3 Euros for the build codes of VAG cars. Search "skoda vin decoder" on ebay, to find the listing. Or you might be able to get them by contacting Skoda in Bulgaria. When you have your car's build codes, you can find out the various OEM part numbers by reference to a Skoda parts catalogue, such as "skoda LLLparts" and "skoda 7zap".

So 0YB would be slightly stiffer and/or longer than 0YA, and 0YC would be slightly stiffer and/or longer than 0YB, etc. However, you can check the actual specification of various springs by entering their OEM part number on various websites such as autodoc. Beware that many aftermarket springs have more than one OEM part number listed against them, and where this is the case, the spring might not be an exact match to the OEM part number that you want.

  7. It sounds like you have increased ride height suspension. Simply change to standard ride height springs, and fit some good standard ride height shock absorbers such as Bilstein B6. Kilen/Lesjofors are likely to have suitable springs. Kilen and Lesjofors are the same springs, made in the same factory in Sweden. Just sold using two different brand names to help increase their market share. As you are in Bulgaria, you might find that Lesjofors is more widely available than Kilen. It's different in the UK, as Kilen is more widely marketed than Lesjofors. Just choose what's available and/or cheapest. As your car is fairly new, you could probably get a good price for your old springs and shock absorbers if they are OE (Original Equipment). To maximise resale value, make sure you find out what their OEM part numbers are, and use all of those numbers in the for sale listing.
  8. The Bilstein 22-131614 front shock absorbers that you linked to are incorrect for your 1K0411105AQ front springs. You need front shock absorbers that are sold to replace OEM part number 1T0413031HN, such as Bilstein 22-183729. The Bilstein 19-127439 rear shock absorbers that you linked to are incorrect for your 1K0511115BG rear springs. You need rear shock absorbers that are sold to replace OEM part number 1K0513029ER, such as Bilstein 19-183749.

On the Octavia MK2, when changing from lowered ride height rear springs to standard ride height rear springs you need to change the 118mm rear buffers to 133mm rear buffers, as shown in the photo below.

  9. wheel-size.com also lists 195/50R15 as a standard option, so it may depend on the country. The UK has a history of fitting lower profile tyres than many other European countries. The sidewall height of 195/45R16 tyres is a shockingly low sub 3.5", whereas with 185/55R15 you get a full 4.0" of sidewall height.

  10. On the Fabia MK1 VRS, fitting bigger front brake discs than the standard 288x25mm will mean that 15" wheels will no longer fit. Considering that the Fabia MK1 VRS uses small outside diameter tyres such as 195/50R15, going up to 16" and beyond will result in a noticeably harder ride and more prone to pothole damage compared to 15" tyres as the height of the sidewalls become very low once the wheel size exceeds 15". I would probably choose 185/55R15 because it matches the outside diameter of 195/45R16, so won't increase the standard gearing. On the Fabia MK1, you could use 185/55R15 on 5.5Jx15 ET34 rims. 185/55R15 is a size that's used on the much later Citigo/Up/Mii, and on these cars the 185/55R15 tyre size is also fitted to a 5.5J rim. Even the Fabia MK2 180HP VRS only has 288x25mm front brake discs, so you are in good company. If the brakes don't feel powerful, they may simply be worn out or someone has fitted cheap parts, with a common culprit being cheap brake pads. The front brakes on the Fabia MK1 VRS are a TRW system, so it makes sense to use TRW brake pads...as shown in the links below.

  11. You can look at photos on wikipedia to help identify what Octavia you have. Skoda Octavia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia Octavia MK1 VRS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia#/media/File:2005_Skoda_Octavia_VRS_1.8_Front.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia#/media/File:2005_Skoda_Octavia_VRS_1.8_Rear.jpg
  12. On the Up/Mii/Citigo, if the car left the factory on 14" wheels it will have softer springs (about 5% softer) than the cars that left the factory on 15"/16" wheels. That's why so many owners with 185/55R15 tyres complain about the hard ride, because not only do their 15" tyres give a harder ride than 14" tyres but the springs are harder. 165/70R14 and 175/65R14 are considerably cheaper tyre sizes than 185/55R15, as shown in the examples below.

  13. Bilstein 36-241583 is sold to replace more than one OEM part number, ie. 1K0411105AQ and 1K0411105HJ. You therefore don't know which OEM part number this spring matches. It might not be the same spring as 1K0411105AQ. For this reason, I would look for another spring such as Kilen 25061 which is available on ebay for about £28 each. Bilstein 36-264087 is sold to replace more than one OEM part number, ie. 1K0511115BG, 1K0511115GP, and 3C0511115AB. You therefore don't know which OEM part number this spring matches. It might not be the same spring as 1K0511115BG. For this reason, I would look for another spring such as Kilen 63118 which is available on ebay for about £28 each.

  14. The 19" X-TREM rims are only 7.5J wide. According to ETRTO, 235/35R19 needs at least an 8J rim. ETRTO approved rim widths 225/40R19 7.5-8.0-9.0 225/35R19 7.5-8.0-9.0 235/40R19 8.0-8.5-9.5 235/35R19 8.0-8.5-9.5 X-TREM 7.5Jx19 ET51 5/112 57.1 alloy rims https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/alu-kolo-x-trem-19-octavia-iii-rs/p/5E0071499B+8Z8
  15. Have you got a manual or DSG gearbox? The DSG gearbox model uses stiffer front springs. Have you got a towbar? The towbar model uses stiffer rear springs.
  16. The Octavia MK2 with 280x22mm front brake discs use front shock absorbers with 50mm struts. The Octavia MK2 with 288x25mm or 312x25mm front brake discs use front shock absorbers with 55mm struts. As the Octavia MK2 VRS uses 312x25mm front brake discs, you need front shock absorbers with 55mm struts. The Octavia MK2 VRS uses different front springs depending on whether it has a manual gearbox or an automatic DSG gearbox.
  17. With the 205/55R16 tyre size, only 6Jx16 ET48 or 6Jx16 ET50 rims are approved for the use of snow chains on the Octavia MK3.
  18. There's also the option of going up just one in the hierarchy to 5Q0511115R. In the Kilen spring catalogue, Kilen are showing this as the standard rear spring for the Octavia MK3 VRS, rather than the 5Q0511115Q that you actually have. However, looking at how much your rear end is compressed with the caravan attached, it might be better to go up two in the hierarchy. If your current rear spring has started to sag, then it might just be necessary to go up one in the hierarchy. From the specification of Eibach R16554 (that matches 5Q0511115R), it might be a slightly stiffer rear spring than the others, because it claims to have an 11.5mm wire diameter instead of the usual 11.25mm wire diameter that appears to be more normal for this OEM part number. 5Q0511115R https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/5q0511115r?search=OEN 5Q0511115R&supplier[0]=85&supplier[1]=112&supplier[2]=246 The below three springs should match 5Q0511115R because no other OEM part numbers are listed against them. Beware of springs with more than one OEM part number listed against them, because they may not be an exact match to the OEM part number that you want. For example, if an aftermarket spring is being sold to replace two different OEM part numbers, then that aftermarket spring can't be an exact match for both of these OEM part numbers. Where multiple OEM part numbers are shown against an aftermarket spring, it might be longer and/or stiffer than the spring that you want. Some rear springs matching 5Q0511115R Eibach R16554 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284964461709 Kilen 63143 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113808057980 KYB RA7157 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334881250972 The following three springs might be rebranded KYB RA7157 springs as the specification and part numbers shown in their listings seems remarkably similar. If so, then the Japko ZCJ7157A at about £15 each (plus shipping) on a 36% off day (usually Mondays) seems good value. However, these three "cheap" brands (but not necessarily cheap) might simply be copying KYB and not an actual KYB spring.

  19. As you have 280x22mm front brake discs, you will need to change to these "wheel bearing housings" (aka. steering knuckles) in order to change to either 288x25mm or 312x25mm front brake discs. The below steering knuckles are also used on the Golf MK5/6 and various clones including front wheel drive and 4x4 models. So there should be a lot of availability on the secondhand market. The wheel bearing housings for the 288x25mm and 312x25mm front brake discs use front shock absorbers with 55mm struts.

For example, VRS front brake calipers are painted red. On the Octavia MK2, to change from 288x25mm to 312x25mm front brakes or vice-versa, you just need to change the front brake discs and the caliper carriers.
  20. Yes, 5Q0511115Q is softer/shorter than 5Q0511115R and 5Q0511115S. So by going up to 5Q0511115S, you will be going up two in the hierarchy, ie. twice the improvement compared to if you were only going up one in the hierarchy.

  21. dtintecno.de claim an increase from 245HP/370Nm to 320HP/450Nm. So about a 30% increase in power, and about a 20% increase in torque. From the remapped power and torque curves that I've seen, you may find that for the best acceleration it's best to keep the revs between 2,750rpm and 5,250rpm. With a remapped 245HP engine, you might as well ask the remapper to set a 5,250rpm rev limit...in fact, I wouldn't want a remapped 245HP engine without this. This is because on a remapped 245HP engine, the power drops off a cliff after about 5,250rpm. If you make the mistake of holding onto the revs above about 5,250rpm without changing up the car will accelerate slower than if you do change up at about this point. By contrast, a remapped 280HP engine produces lots of power all the way to the red line, or at least until about 6,300rpm. It might be better to have a hybrid, if 150HP went to the front wheels (the ICE engine) and 150HP went to the back wheels (electric motor), as the full potential of 300HP can't effectively be used below about 60mph in a front wheel drive Octavia. The biggest problem is the underwhelming torque below 2,750rpm. For low speed use, an Octavia 2.0TDI 4x4 VRS makes a lot more sense. At least it can put its power down effectively without the dreaded wheel spin problem, and the diesel engine produces much more low down torque than either the 245HP or 280HP engine, remapped or not. The 4x4 system will pay for itself, due to the much reduced fuel consumption of the diesel engine. In top gear, with either a 245HP or 280HP engine (remapped or not), you won't get into the power band until well over 70mph. It's not really the kind of engine that I would want for a sensible daily runner due to the low performance problem below about 2,750rpm. As a weekend track tool, either engine would be a completely different proposition, and a remapped 245HP engine's lack of power high up in the rev range (peak power of 320HP is produced at around 4,500rpm) wouldn't be a problem on most race tracks as you're unlikely to often go above 130mph.

  24. "Black vRS Oct" said, "Thinking of going the smaller wheel route for higher profile tyre & more comfort". Fitting 205/55R16 tyres to wider 7J rims won't be as comfortable as fitting 205/55R16 tyres to narrower 6J or 6.5J rims. If comfort is your goal, perhaps look at 6Jx16 rims with the standard ET50 offset. 6Jx16 ET43 and 6Jx16 ET48 are also available. Fitting a 205/55R16 to a relatively narrow 6J rim, will also help protect the rim from kerbing damage as the sidewalls bulge out quite a bit. To maximise the comfort with a 205/55R16 tyre size, don't over specify the tyres. For example, 205/55R16 91H should be more comfortable than 205/55R16 94V XL, all other things being equal.

  25. I expect most aftermarket shock absorbers that are sold for the Octavia MK2 VRS and other lowered ride height Skodas are actually standard ride height shock absorbers, including the two Bilstein front shock absorbers that I linked to in my post above. However, For a lowered ride height Octavia MK2 (including the VRS), it might be worth considering Bilstein B8 shock absorbers, such as the one shown in the link below.
