Lowering
I hope u didn't put the E85 springs in ur wagon. If u did, that would explain the lower rear end drop. E85 is for the liftback/sedan (3V3), which has a much less heavier backend. E79 is for the wagon (3V5). Hence if u put sedan springs at the rear, it will drop more.

Converting the Superb 3 Pre FL to the Superb 3 FL Matrix Light any experience?
I don't understand - it either is or it isn't. Do u have a pic of the front of ur car? That will settle any doubts. If u indeed have a pre-facelift, then the part number on top of ur headlight will definitely indicate if it's SLA version or not. Version A is non-SLA. Version B is SLA.

Converting the Superb 3 Pre FL to the Superb 3 FL Matrix Light any experience?
sounds like u a facelift Superb. eyelashes = smart light assist is specific to the pre-facelift Superb that uses Bi-xenon headlights with special rollers for masking/shaping the high beam. the facelift Superb has a completely different headlight setup, using LED and matrix LEDs for masking/shaping the high beam. the eyelashes on the facelift only operate on when the low beams r on. i don't know if it is tied specifically to the matrix headlight version. the same applies to the Octavia and Kodiaq variants with LED headlights.

visually - they look nicer, especially in DRL mode. eyelashes also mean u have "Smart Light Assist" headlights, i.e. it can do matrix like high beam shaping/masking. ŠKODA Smart Light Assist

Major Service
@Exkiwi - the 220 (162TSi) does not require a belt change. yes they (VAG workshop) only uses genuine oils/fluids, according to the needs of the DQ250, which the 162TSi uses. @ThatBlueSuperb - i had my brake pads and discs replaced (with aftermarket dba) last year, so i don't need a brake fluid flush. i have an aftermarket air-intake (Racingline r600), so they don't need to replace the air filter. i had my spark plugs changed at the 105k service, so no need to change them now.

Front Strut Brace?
that version is "intrusive" as it sits across the top of and blocks the battery, brake fluid, turbo inlet pipe, and turbo inlet elbow!! the HP version on the other hand is inside the plastic cowl, tucked nicely out of the way.

OCU Fault codes - How do I fix this?
"B2000 49 [00001001] - Internal Electronic Failure [Control unit defective Analog circuitry]" based on this fault code, i would assume ur telematics control unit is no good at all and will need to b replaced entirely.

Steering wheel upgrade
I did the round to flat-bottomed steering wheel upgrade 3 yrs ago. I can read about it in my build thread here. If u get a steering wheel with the same specs, then u won't need any additional bits, or coding. Be careful not to get a facelift flat-bottomed steering wheel as the airbag design is different to that used in the pre-facelift, which ur car is. In other words, if u did, u won't b able to re-use ur original airbag with ur flat-bottomed steering wheel.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Don't have the car keys within 3m at the rear of the car. Leave the keys anywhere inside the car, or more than 3m away, or in a room inside the house, far away. It won't eat u then, nor try to decapitate u.

I've got the Hardrace Pro rear sway bar (7758) on my FWD Superb. It's 28 mm thick. Made a very noticeable improvement They make an AWD version too, which is 30 mm thick - 8781. It is the same for Superb, Kodiaq, Golf R and Passat 4Motion.
