How much are these from the dealers does anyone know (I did phone them, but don't have my chassis number to hand - the car is at the MOT station) they've quoted me to fit a new one but obviously it's not a genuine part (I have checked it will be a correct vRS spring and not a standard Octavia one)

Just wanted to compare prices (not sure GSF do them, weren't on their website anyway and couldn't be bothered to phone them, we not got time this w/e to fit ourselves)

i think they are about £70 - scary i know!

Try your local motor factors mine did a pair for £80, it's also a really easy job you can do yourself about 20 mins per side, inc tea breaks lol

Cheers guys, sure it's not too difficult, just wont have the time as away all bloody weekend and now it's dark of an evening, I haven't the inclination to start getting the tools out either, easier to pay the garage!

The correct VRS springs are only available from TPS or VAG main dealer. If you buy from a motor factors they will be standard springs not VRS!!

TPS recently quoted me £69+vat. GSF do not stock them.

Yeah I phoned GSF in the end. Unipart do list different part numbers for the vRS and standard springs, and I tripled checked with the garage fitting it that it definitely will be vRS and not standard spring they're fitting - I'm concerned now! guess we'll soon see when get it back...

Read this. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/176044-snapped-spring/

Thanks I read that earlier, GSF didn't say main dealer only to me, just that they didn't do them - I wouldn't take my car anywhere near Kwik Fit for anything other than tyre fitting! lol

Just a shame don't have the time to do myself, oh well as said we'll see when I get it back whether the factors spring is indeed vRS specific, surely they're not going to fit it if they don't match :wonder:

Listed Unipart spring is wrong.
