Hi Damian. Would you recommend the ST over the AP set up then ? If so, what would be your reasoning given my requirements?
Cheers
John
If budget allows yes. The ST kit is the next step up from the AP in terms of the quality of the parts used and also the build.

ST by KW would be my recommendation - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/skoda/fabia/st-20mm-springs-shocks-suspension-kitfabia-6y-19992007-19tdi-vrs

I'd go for the ST kit every time.

Have you checked what clearance you have? Hold something flat against the arch and measure from the tyre sidewall to that.

What dampers are fitted with the H&R springs?

Evening all
New and First post here, so apologies as I'm sure this topic has been broached many times prior
I have a 67 plate superb 272 sportline
Suspension has much to be desired for...so looking at eibach sway bars, springs and dampers or Koni special actives.
However I'm not a fan of the car being lowered to the point of the wheel arches obscuring the upper tyre.
Any advice or tips on kits that avoid this?
Cheers all
Drop us a PM with your registration number and I'm sure we'll be able to help.

Hi,
The front lip is 13mm.
It seems correct the spacer to be >=13
I don't know what to do
You'll be fine with a 12mm hubcentric spacer - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/skoda/octavia/hr-trak-12mm-hubcentric-wheel-spacers-boltsoctavia-5e-20132019

The front hub lip won't be as deep as the rear, we've found from experience that 10mm works on the front but 12mm+ is needed for the rear.

From what you've said springs and shocks are going to be the better option for you over coilovers.
Drop us a PM if we can be any help and we can get some prices and info on kits together for you.

I'd recommend changing both the fronts and rears.
Let us know if you'd like a price on the Koni's.

Best thing to do is to hold something flat against the arch and then measure from the tyre sidewall to that. This will give you the exact measurement to get the wheels flush, you can then take a few mm off for clearance.
Damian @ DPM Performance

Morning,
Are you wanting the wheels flush with the arches or a little in?
Damian @ DPM Performance
-
You'd get maybe 10-15mm lower.

Excellent quality kit if you're happy with a set drop - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/skoda/octavia/bilstein-30mm-b12-pro-lowering-springs-shocks-suspension-kitoctavia-1z-20042013-16tdi-19tdi-20tfsi-20tdi-inc-vrs

The ST kit by KW is a great option although a little over what you wanted to spend but worth saving for - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/skoda/octavia/st-x-by-kw-coilover-suspension-kitoctavia-1z-20042013-14tsi-16tdi-18tsi-19tdi-20tfsi-20tdi-inc-vrs

Top mounts and bearings are always worth changing whilst the suspension is off.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
The Whiteline bars are in stock at the moment.
Damian @ DPM Performance

With that mileage you'll really need to go for a full springs and shocks kit and the Koni kit is a good place to start.
40mm should be fine and the standard drop links should work without any problems.
Damian @ DPM Performance
-
Whiteline 24mm adjustable rear would work well.
Damian @ DPM Performance

Massively worth it in my opinion.

Advice on suspension please

The B4s are basically a gas version of the standard shocks, the B6 are a monotube upgrade but as mentioned fairly firm.
If I was keeping the standard springs, personally I'd go for the Koni Special-Active.
