Has anyone changed xenon for led?

I have the same opinion. I don't know how long they will last but for sure the next time I want to change the shock absorbers on the Skoda or another car, I won't choose Koni.

I'm terribly sorry, I double-checked the translation. Install a 5Q0 411 303 AC front sway bar where the tie threads are inside the pipe, I put 3Q0 411 303 J on it which is exactly the same as the thinner one I removed 3Q0 411 303 C. The joints fit well and in a workshop specialized in suspensions and wheels (they have a competition section and exclusive cars) they said that there was no problem. The difference is less than a centimeter. The links fit well and don't rub on anything. Changing the stabilizer bar would cost me more than 300 euros. I know that the correct thing would be to change it, but I want to know if there could be a problem like that or if I could put some washers to try to remove the link from its original position, as long as the link itself allows it. This is what I should have put: and this is the one i put: The handling has improved a lot, the car rolls a lot less, it drives better. Both the front and the rear are from the Golf R VII, but for the front there is a thicker reference to the Kodiaq, Arteon, Passat. Thanks in advance. This is how it is installed now. After several hundred kms it works very well, there are no swings or friction with parts and perhaps the only problem may be shortening the life of the linkages. If anyone knows anything else please let me know. Once again sorry for the translation.

Once checked and spoken again with the specialist workshop, it does not affect anything.

I have finally picked up the car with the missing shock absorber and I have already completed the suspension change. Thanks to the excellent work by the specialized workshop in Alcalá de Henares, in Madrid. Thanks to @Carlston and everyone else for helping me with this change. Incredible failure in the Koni Special Active. The workshop has had to buy another one and now discuss with the distributor in Spain because I don't know how they are making it easy. Koni's very bad image. If I go to another small workshop or assemble them myself, I would have a serious problem.

Instale una barra estabilizadora delantera 5Q0 411 303 AC donde los hilos de amarre quedan dentro de la tubería, tubo le puse 3Q0 411 303 J que es exactamente igual al más delgado que le quité 3Q0 411 303 C. Las uniones encajaron bien y en un taller especializado en suspensiones y ruedas (tienen sección de competición y coches exclusivos) dijeron que no había problema. La diferencia es de menos de un centímetro. Los enlaces encajan bien y no rozan nada. Cambiar la barra estabilizadora correcta me costaría más de 300 euros. se que lo correcto seria cambiarlo, pero quiero saber si puede haber algun problema asi o si podria poner unas arandelas para intentar sacar el eslabón de su posicion original, siempre y cuando el mismo eslabón lo permita eso. Esto es lo que debería haber puesto: Y este es el que he puesto El manejo ha mejorado mucho, el coche rueda mucho menos, se conduce mejor. Tanto la parte delantera como la trasera son del Golf R VII, pero para la parte delantera hay una referencia más gruesa al Kodiaq, Arteon, Passat. This is how it is installed now. Gracias por adelantado.

Yes, I like it more every day and I only have 3 mounted... I've had bad luck. A colleague from Club Superb Spain has mounted them with sportline springs and without problems.

I remembered that DRIVE.RU thread, but the problem was in the butt. In my case it is the right front. They have already processed the guarantee, I hope there are no problems.

It could have been bad luck, in the 400 kms that I have traveled with them over the weekend, the sensations were good. But it can't be that one of the shock absorbers has gone wrong, which could happen but I can't believe it. In the workshop specialized in suspensions and wheels and with a competition section, if they have had defective Kayaba shock absorbers and they know that Koni does not accept guarantees at first. I hope I get a new one and it fixes it. I know of no cases of breakdowns at Sachs or Bilstein.

Last Friday I finally installed the Lesjofors springs with new bumpers and the much talked about KONI SPECIAL ACTIVE. I also installed the Golf R front sway bar. The sensations at the beginning were strange because it does not go hard but the cornering is much superior to the standard suspension. The problem has come because when turning to the left a clonk, and when returning to the center the same. After several changes of, putting new cups, many hours in the workshop and desperation, one of the mechanics put the old shock absorber and the noise disappeared. We are waiting for the processing of the guarantee by Koni, but they have already told me that they are not very fond of making first-time replacements. Honestly, although they are going well, simply because of the bad times I am going through, I DO NOT RECOMMEND KONI. If I had known this, I would not have ridden them. I would have ridden Sachs or Bilstein. We'll see how this all ends.

My model is the TDI 190cv 4x4 Kombi, GM and AL are a bit softer than those that correspond to me (GN and M) right now I have the raised suspension for bad roads (PPD) and I have HS and AS, they are quite harder than the standard ones but the car is a pirate ship from what it moves. If you are going to pull a caravan maybe you should put an N, I do not think that the difference in hardness is critical in any case and it is almost better to go too hard, since very soft will make the car sink with its own weight. If you want something harder, the next combination is GN and M and the following GP and P. Here you decide. If when they install mine it is soft, I will go for the following configuration that I tell you.

If you allow me, I thought a lot about the springs, following @Carlston's instructions, I ordered the ones corresponding to my model from the Lesjofors catalog (GN and M) and Koni Special Active shock absorbers, the latter I hope will provide something more than some Sachs or some B4. I am waiting for your installation that I will tell you once I have tried them. With this I want to tell you that you can do the tests that you think are necessary, but more or less everything is clear with this topic. What springs do you have now?

Waiting for @Carlston to answer you, after a month and a half looking for information, you can start by taking VW spring numbers and comparing them with Skoda spring numbers, in terms of thickness, number of turns and length to see if they are different.

The number of springs available in the VAG catalog is immense with multiple heights and hardnesses. I am convinced that you have to find the right combination. I leave the list with ALL THE VAG EQUIPMENT CODES. http://www.vagclub.net/tec/codigospr.pdf

Well, taking the Autodoc data and the Lesjofors website as a reference, I can conclude that the 5Q0411105GN front spring with 322mm height, 4.6 coils and 12.5mm thickness is the same as the 5Q0411105F with 282mm height. 4.6 coils and 12.5mm thick but shorter

Do you know if they were 70mm and 127mm?

Following your table I see that the GN and the HE are "same" but with different height? Where can I decipher the PR code of the front springs? Being Sportline springs, the stops would be 55mm and 112mm, right?

I don't think they are lower than the EIbach's as they are the OEM Sportline's. As far as hardness, I don't know. I am asking for budgets to install the Koni Special Active. What seems curious to me is that the Lesjofors online catalog indicates that for my car the rear is 3Q0511115M of rank 5 and I have installed a 3Q0511115AS with rank 6.

Well, the cheese is already rolling downhill... I have changed the stabilizer bar of the Golf VII R, I have done it myself, in just an hour and a half. The change has been noticed for the better, it is not a radical change but it is perceived and noticeable in the curves and even better traction. Rear stabilizer bar for 4x4 vehicles the part number is: 5Q0 511 305 BF. I am also waiting to receive the front stabilizer bar with part number: 5Q0 411 303 AC. I will take this to install when I change shock absorbers and springs, since I think that a parallel must be done. I have continued looking for the springs that my model has in the Sportline version. Of those that I have been able to verify, one has been a TSI 272 sportline 4x4 Combi and a TDI 190 4x4 hatchback, both with DCC, unfortunately I have not been able to find one exactly the same as mine. Being both springs 5Q0411105HE. I don't know if this is the one that would work for me. For the rear I have found out the number of the ones I have (roads in poor condition) and it is 3Q0511115AS (PR-UC7+0YF) so keeping the same level of hardness but in 1JC it would be 3Q0511115AD (PR 1JC+0YF). Would it be correct @Carlston ??

Once the translator problems have been solved, I ask for your opinion again. And sorry again. It's been a while since the last intervention, I'm sorry. I finally found the springs to be able to lower the bodywork from bad roads to "normal" thanks to a great member of Briskoda. Searching for information about the Koni Special Active, I found this thread, but both here and in the Russian forum there is talk of the wonders of the KSA on roads with holes, potholes or speed bumps . In Spain, which is where I live and move around, the roads are good, highways with good asphalt with big curves and some subsidence in support. WHAT makes the Superb move and "decompose" bouncing up to three times, which becomes dangerous as it almost loses the line. The fact is that I want to ask you, how are the KSA on highways at "high" speeds and with the car full of luggage and passengers. The stabilizer bar is an improvement that seems to be necessary, right? I have seen the 25mm Eibach rear since I can't find the Golf R VII one and the improvement is only 3mm on the inner wall. Thank you very much in advance. The KSA will make a big difference to the stability of the car on all roads, even constant radius flat roads require small corrections and inputs at the wheel, so the dampers are constantly working. I haven't bothered with upgrading the RARB as it's not really necessary, though undoubtedly helps turn in and reduce understeer. If you find the stock suspension simply too bouncy and uncontrolled, then just do it, the improvement isn't subtle; it's a different car

I am sorry. I have failed with the translator. Thank you very much. We can notify the moderators and remove it if it bothers.

Thank you very much. Now the problem is finding a workshop to install it in August...

Entiendo lo que quieres decir, estoy pensando demasiado en ello. I am tremendously grateful for all the information you have given me and I am sure that other users who are in my situation will also find it very useful. What I am looking for, I have already repeated several times, is to remove the balance (lateral and vertical) by stiffening and lowering the suspension without reaching the sportiness of the B12.

What rear spring would be in the same lowering with respect to the 5Q0411105GM, that is, what spring should be installed in my 4x4 with the 5Q04Q11105GM, so that it would be balanced? At the dynamic level, would there be any differences? I'm weighing the options, and God knows I never would have imagined there would be so many possible combinations. Thanks you again @Carlston

And the difference between 3Q0 511 115 M and 3Q0 511 115 N?
