  1. Ahh Flying pig... Take it he operates out of Barton?
  2. I installed H & Rs.. 40mm drop.. Testimonials for both are similar.. looking above, the Eibachs look very nice on the 19 inch rims. Comfort and ride is vastly improved over standard on mine.. again similar reports for the Eibach! If your wheels are 18 inch, you may wish to install 20mm spacers to the rear and 10 to the front.
  3. It is indeed. Even with over 150kg of gravel in the boot, It wasn't as low.
  4. As part of my contract hire deal with RRG Skoda, they offered me a lowering option. I delayed the fitting due to me needing my car to move 500kg of gravel for a gardening project . Eventually got round to taking the car to the garage on Thursday. Comfort- vastly more comfortable than standard springs- I was very surprised. Ride height- stance is improved, this is the height that the VRS should have been as standard- not too chavvy . I may well install rear spacers ( 20mm) and 10mm to the front ( in due course) Pictured are 18 inch rims. The salesman's demo car was a Mk3 Octavia VRS with 19 inch extremes, and lowered 40mm.. Looked really well. Before: After: H & R 40mm drop- KBA 91444 28833
  5. Very nice car. They should drop the 280 bhp tsi lump in to the Octavia!
  6. You could fit an inline fuse somewhere ( in protective surroundings)- if you use a vacant fuse slot for the live
  7. RRG in Rochdale.Whilst viewing vehicles, I saw the salesman's demo car was lowered. After seeing his car, standard vrs' looked like they were on stilts, very 4 x 4 like. I was told the kit can be ordered through Skoda ( approved) Eibach.
  8. I was given the mg6 as a hire vehicle. By far the worst vehicle I have driven. I was happy to give it back. Faults galore.
  9. TDI.. The petrol offers weren't as attractive ! Plus I have an increased commute to work now. Took a gamble on this. Was held at Emden as a cancelled order. Taken around a month from ordering.
  10. My car has arrived at the dealers, just awaiting the arrival of Eibach springs before I can collect.
  11. I wouldn't worry. People usually log onto forums to report faults and look for solutions.. This forum only represents a small proportion of vrs owners. The my16 issue.. Again I wouldn't worry- the technology will be upgraded again in due course, akin to buying a smart phone, there are always superior models on the horizon. The ride issue / height- I've ordered Eibachs through Skoda to sort this.
