Thanks for all the assistance. I have had the springs and shocks changed and the height is now at least an inch higher. Hopefully this will solve the grounding issue.

Opps , typo, 15 years, not 25! Thank you for this additional information, it will greatly help me find the most suitable springs.

Thanks for the help. I will see if any paint is visible, but after 25 year, not so likely. I will see if I can check the build codes as well. Thanks again. Opps , typo, 15 years, not 25!

Hi, I'm very confused as to which springs to buy to solve my low ground clearance. There seem to be so many options (53 on auto doc) with several oem numbers quoted, e.g. 1K0 511 115 BF or ending EB, BS, BE, DF, BM. Also when I checked compatibility of Monroe SP3349, it said not compatible with my Octavia hatchback1.9tdi 2006, but if they're for the estate version they maybe ideal to solve the issue. Looking at some of the options, they vary in weight (600 to 2700 gm), length (330 to 371mm), thickness, etc. Can anyone help clarify my conundrum?

Hi, my Octavia is a bxe and the filter is the same as my daughter's fabia atd engine code. As mentioned in other replies Eurocarparts or gsf, can identify the filter you need.
