Thanks for your advice! The car is on 225/40R18 (with brand new tires), so I think i will stick with the standard ride height. I'll try to install some new standard shocks and springs and hopefully the car will feel better after that.

It's standard ride height 2UA

Hi, I have an Octavia 1,8 tsi, 180hp, FWD from 2014. It's time to replace the shocks as these haven't been changed jet, the car has done a bit over 130 000km/81 000miles. As it is now I think the car feels a bit too soft. When hitting the throttle a bit hard the car pushes down at the back and up at the front causing the wheels to spin. In this regard I was wondering if anyone has experience with replacing shocks (and springs) to something more stiff without decreasing the ride comfort to much? Or will a replacement to new standard shocks increase the stiffness sufficient? Or maybe the vRS has a different set of suspension that I could use on my car? At least in my country (Norway) the combination of 1,8 tsi 180hk and FWD is quite uncommon, most of the 180hk have 4x4. I'm grateful for your thoughts and experience with this.
