So far I've found Vmaxx and H&R springs. Looks like there are Bilstein dampers as well.

Thanks, so that matches what I found out with the springs so only option to lower is go with the aftermarket lowering springs. Cars had Haldex done recently and 2 cambelt changes based on age rather than miles. It's a 2010 model so I suspect CR.

Im assuming these are right for the front? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303918245572?fits=Model%3AOctavia&hash=item46c2f066c4:g:VswAAOSwlLheOYKO REar? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363550603799?fits=Model%3AOctavia&hash=item54a54dfa17:g:d54AAOSwNm5hSbh~ Or these if Im feeling brave. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154462608921?hash=item23f6b05e19:g:7ugAAOSwAXRgqF00

Thanks for the info. Id forgotten about 7zap so thanks for the reminder. I'll maybe price up the springs. Theres seems to be about 10 different springs for each with some cross over. How do you know whats what? This car was too good to miss. Its in very good condition with impeccable history and low mileage so bought it based on that. The ride height doesnt bother me too much but I like to tinker and this is one thing Id possibly look at over time. As you say the bigger tyres come into play as well but It looks like there is loads of clearance.

Hi folks, not been on here for a while. Had a pre FL Vrs estate a few years back and hopefully picking up a red FL Scout Tdi on Friday. It seems very clean, low mileage and impeccable history. Already looking at some changes so just wondered if anyone had done similar. First I have a set of 18in wheels to fit but cant really find any photos of them with non std wheels, anyone else fitted 18in to there scout? Im looking to get a colour coded grill as I dont like the chrome one. Ive seen the Superskoda or whatever its called selling them but anyone have one? The door rubbing strips Id also like to get in red, anyone know how easy or difficult they are to replace? I'll also be looking at getting it remapped at some point. This will be my wifes car and to be honest we dont need the high setting so I was looking at maybe at some point lowering it down however from what I can see its the same suspension as the std 4x4 so changing springs to them will make no difference. Anyone else looked into this? There seems to be H&R springs available but thinking that might screw the geometry up too much as there stated as 55mm drop.
