Front diffuser, same pre/Facelift?
Hi everyone!! I'm having some difficult time finding out if I can buy a front splitter from an Octavia rs mk3 facelift and use it in my pre facelift (just because I found that the facelift it's cheaper in some cases). I'm seeing the photos and the bumpers are almost the same in the bottom, do you know if I can put a facelift splitter in my pre facelift? I did a photo with each maxton splitter, what are your thoughts?

I think that any of those would look great, I had some pretoria replica, but 19" and I loved the result, hope you can get the wheels and share the results here!

Brake kits
I know that this thread have been sleeping for a long time, but just to mention, because when I purchased my octi in 2021 I didn't have too much information, if you want to put some bigger brakes, the cayenne 958/ panamera/ macan s front calipers are a great option, 6 pot that you can easily mount in 375 mm rotors (taking into consideration at least 19 rims and depending of your et, wheel spacers), brakets and more info about this is available in many sites, in my case I bought the brackets, rotor center rings and brake lines from them. Good luck to anyone who is looking to have a cheap bbk

2013 VRS - Brembo Discs/Pads - Opinions?
Those link products are correct, just take a look at this: https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2013-753/6/615-615062/#10 Whenever you want to buy something you can use 7zap or any other online parts, so it's like: 1- selecting the make, year, model, engine 2- find the specific part 3- copy the part number 4- paste it on ebay/amazon wherever Or, go directly to the store like europarts and then check with any online catalogue as I mentioned About brembo, they have all the range of products depending of your needs, from the Oem until the track products. Next time you can consider also Ate or Zimmermann, I had both and they perform very well in terms of rotors, if you are thinking about improving your breaking power, certainly that will require you to focus more in the front brakes and probably in different pads, brake fluid and steel brake lines, considering your driving needs more than just the brand (brembo, trw, ebc, até, stoptech, hawk, ferodo, etc) because they all have the specific product depending of what you need, that's why sometimes you hear people saying "I bought some brembo pads and they are terrible", and the question here is "what model?, for daily use or track?". Regards!

Eibach prokit, not lowering as i thought
Thats something that I wanted and still want, to keep the drivability, and yes, I probably can keep with this and forget about the 1 cm that I have between front and rears... Thats an option also, I even thought about going with 2 cm of rear wheel spacers instead of the actual 1.5 cm, maybe moving the wheel outside will give an effect in terms of the tyre being more visibl. Thanks for your comment mate

Eibach prokit, not lowering as i thought
Funny fact is that i asked to a friend of mine (weights like 200 lbs) to sit in the rear sits..., thats exactly how want it to look, but it's not possible to carry him always hahaha. Yesterday I talked with a local springs company, they offered me some gti mk7 springs but because of thw way and some photos I know that it will be too low, the option was to manufacture 2 rear springs and specify them the lenght, but i don't know how much that has to be, stock springs have 33 cm, gti mk7 that they have 27 cm, it's difficult to guess if 30 will be enough or not

Eibach prokit, not lowering as i thought
Hi fellas! Hope you are doing well, I'm writing cause' I don't know if there's any way to go more lower as I just installed the eibach prokit springs but front vs rear results is not what I was looking for, at the front it's perfect, but at the rear it's almost the same as the stock height, what is your recommendation? Going with another springs replacing just those or all the set? (with he extra cost ðŸ˜), going with coilovers?? (more expensive solution) . My set up Bilstein B6 Eibach prokit Any recommendation will be appreciated!

19 wheels?, 9.5 et41 with 235/35r19
Hello there! I just wanted to update you about this, finally I decided and purchased some pretoria R 19 wheels!, the set up is: 19, 8j, et50 Front : 15 mm spacers Rear: 20 mm spacers Tyres: contisport contact 5 235/35r19 I really liked the look, probably I could think about lowering but I don't want to start the scratching issues in speed bumps, parking lots, etc.

You r right, I'll check some b14 bilstein but again, this will be an option probably if I go with some 19 wheels in order to compensate the Traktor look and that scenario increase the cost (wheels, new tyres, coils)

19 wheels?, 9.5 et41 with 235/35r19
HI Marky!, yes that could be an option but these specifically are in a really good price (like 1.100 usd the set) , the owner bought these and when he tried to mount them in a Mercedes but it was not possible (probably the caliper didn't fit) Another option It's to look for some golf R wheels (pretoria are 19), probably they will fit without issues.

19 wheels?, 9.5 et41 with 235/35r19
HI KenOneill!, thanks for answering, about lowering, the big problem it's that I'm scared about start to scratch the front bumper and the bottom between the wheels. Before the octavia I had an audi s4 b8 with 19 wheels and h&r sport springs, it was beautiful but a headache because I had always to be checking if "it would scratch in that parking?, what about this shopping can I go there?, no I can't, let go somewhere else", so because of this, I was thinking (eliminating the coilovers option because of the cost) to buy the 28833-1 h&r springs and mount it in conjunction with the bilstein B6 that already are in the car(previous owner put them), but I'm afraid about start again with these issues, one of the main reasons that I decided to buy the octy was that you can drive almost everywhere without problems, so, yes, the optionsare: 1-to stay in 18" wheels with springs, but I'm not sure if the b6+h&r sports will be a headache 2- going to 19", with 8.5" and et 45 as much, but needing to lowering to avoid the Traktor look

19 wheels?, 9.5 et41 with 235/35r19
Hi there! Hope you are doing well this Saturday, I'm having some issues about buying some 19 wheels (I read some threads but without this setup specifically) , the big problem is to find out if some of you had or know if this configuration fits without rubbing: 19, 9.5", et41, 235/35r19 Will they fit shows this difference, but I'm not pretty sure if there's enough clearance
