Wheels and suspension questions

Featured Replies

i drastically need to improve the handling of my skoda fabia, its a pd100 with 205/16's on it currently.

now i know my suspension will need upgrading, as they're a standard fabia set up, ive already thought of getting either a full cupra set up, or a koni or eibach set up, but i dont want to lower the car too much. Any info on which would better suit the car? and with the koni's/eibach's, would springs suffice or springs and dampers? im not racing the car, just want a generally better drive from it really. My friend keeps trying to get me to get "jamex" coilovers, which he has on his gt tdi golf, but i dont really want no cheap rubbish tbh

also, how wide can i go with wheel sizes?, i want to keep 16" wheels, but i have a set of 16x225 3 series alloys lying around which i could fit using adapters, or just a set that are slightly wider.

i'm already using eagle f1 tyres, but my car just doesnt hold to the road like the golf does.

any help?

Not sure if it helsp but the alloy wheel archive sticky has a lot of shots of cars with different width wheels dropped to different levels which might give you an indication?

link?

sorry to be a pain, but whenever i use the search functions i get random stuff that i never asked for lol

Its in the fabia 1 forum which this post is in, at the top, along with all the other pinned threads, you shouldn't need to search.
