@Haystack1 could you take a look at the springs on your car for color codes or actual part numbers? Front springs have painted color codes. Rear springs have paper tags with part numbers printed on them.

1JP and G04 refer to models with electronically regulated shock absorber (DCC). Model numbers differ for the springs, but the part numbers are often the same. For example, 1JP (DCC): Rear spring PR-1JP-0YD = 3Q0511115AK 1JA (non-DCC, Standard, no Sportline): Rear spring PR-1JA-OYC = 3Q0511115AK Source: http://www.catcar.info/audivw/?lang=en&l=c3RzPT17IjEwIjoiQnJhbmQiLCIyMCI6IlNLT0RBIiwiNDAiOiJTdXBlcmIgRXVyb3BlIiwiNTAiOiIyMDE5IiwiNjAiOiJSZWFyIGF4bGUifXx8c3Q9PTYwfHxicmFuZD09c2t8fG1hcmtldD09Q1p8fG1kbD09U1VQICB8fEVwaXM9PTg1MXx8RWluc2F0ej09MjAxOXx8TWFpbkdyb3VwPT01fHxCaWxkdGFmZWw9PTUxMTEwfHxHcmFmaWs9PTA1MTExNTc0Ng%3D%3D

Hi @jim_d, they say you can never have too much power To answer you question, our Superb is a daily driver for my wife and our kids. Mostly driven short distances on the city. In this use 1.4 is sufficient, but if we would use it regularly for longer distances I would look for something with more power.

Narrower diameter is odd. I went to see my local Skoda dealership late last week. We checked from one MY2018 Superb Combi 1.4 TSI Sportline what spring configuration it has. Results were 5Q0411105HB on front and 3Q0511115AA on rear. Could someone with Sportline trim check what oem springs (part numbers) they have? This would help to verify what springs to get.

Nice summary @MartiniB, thank you! Just to mix up things...I took a look at the Eibach online catalog to see what options it suggests for the estate with different engine options. For the rear it is always F11-79-008-01-HA. It does not matter if it's FWD or AWD, from 1.4 petrol 2.0 diesel engines. Maybe an issue with the online catalog

I lifted up the car yesterday and checked what springs it has as standard. Current configuration is Front 5Q0411105GK PR-L05 - Spring area 05 only built-in control, no demand forecast Length 315 Wire Diameter 12 Rear 3Q0511115AK PR-1JA + 0YC - 0YC = weight range 3 only built-in control, no demand forecast, 1JA = rear cushioning, base 1 Length 364 Wire Diameter 12,25 Based on this information the Sportline counterparts are Front 5Q0411105HB PR-L15 - Spring area 15 only built-in control, no demand forecast Length 288 Wire Diameter 11,75 Rear 3Q0511115AA PR-1JC+0YC - 0YC = weight range 3 only built-in control, no demand forecast, 1JC = rear damping, sport version Length ?? Wire Diameter ?? I was not able to find specs for the rear springs. @Carlston or someone else do you know more about them? Also I couldn't find aftermarket versions of the rear Sportline springs. My local dealership wants 390€ for the set (front and rear) which is more than H&R and Eibach sets.

Thanks for the feedback @MarkyG82! Our previous car was Audi A3, which of course is not the same at all with Superb from the size perspective, but A3 had similar feel of drive with Volvo V90 and Audi A4 which we drove before we decided to go with the Superb. Feel of those two is something I'm trying to achieve. Do you already have specific springs on you mind? H&R lowers the car little too much for me.

Thank you @Carlston! This information is golden! It has rained for the past week here in Finland and I have not had a chance to verify the current spring and shock setup. Hopefully I'm able to take a closer look later this week.

Hi, we just got a MY2018 Superb Estate 1,4 TSI with DSG and Style trim package - no DCC. Driving characteristics are little bit disappointing. I'm planning to address this issue by replacing the current standard shocks with Koni Special Active or with Bilstein B6 and springs with the ones from the Sportline trim. Changing standard springs to Sportline might be related more to appearance than to ride feel Although I have read many topics here on the forum and searched the web, I've not found the part codes for the Sportline springs (front and rear). Does anyone have the part number information for the Sportline springs?
