Well after 8 months of owning my fabia vrs I decided to get my hands dirty and fit some Koni 40mm lowering springs purchased from awesome at a awesome price of £88.13 all in.

So I thought id post some pics before and after the fit.

Sorry about the poor image quailty of the last pic.

SO What do you think????

Before

After

Good Job - Looks Tidy!

Looks good........ Just the springs you changed, not the shocks? Good price for them.

Shsssh , blimey , dont tell everyone we can do good prices

I will loose my reputation

Nah , I do like to make sure you are all getting good prices

It is a nice looking car that , well done

Did you do it yourself?

Sarah

Always nice to meet more Skoda fans locally

Looks spot on mate

Nice. What tyres have you got fitted, as they look a little chunky on the S3 rims?

I love the S3 rims, looks great now it lowered.

What does it drive like?

Looks miles better!

Tyres are 215/45/17. We've already been through the fact that they're wrong here

as wardy as stated they are 215/45's

What does it drive like?

Well after taking it for a drive over the tops near me I personally think it drives a lot better, the handlig seems miles better, the extra body roll on standard shocks appears to have calmed down miles now it is lower.

Accelerating out of corners also feels more stable (i.e more grip)

You'll find the nose will dive less under breaking too. So it feels more stable, braking down from speed.

You still need proper tyres on those wheels though

Steve

ooooh..Koni's or Eibachs?! Am on standard wheels and shocks, and don't know!!

koni's -40mm as stated in the first post.

"Am on standard wheels and shocks, and don't know" I don't follow?

I meant seeing those pics has put some doubt in my head...I was going to go for Eibachs, but the car looks great on the Konis. As for the "on standard wheels and shocks..." i also mean for me, and I don't know whats best for it!!

Sorry for confusion. your car looks grand though

I always thought Koni didnt do springs for the vRS ?
