I am woundering if I shuld ask my seller to add "bad road package" on my fabia combi 1.2 tsi DSG?

The package includes: (elevated ground clearance of 150 mm, reinforced springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bar

and underrun protection of motor and gearbox) with the price of SEK 1500,-

If anyone have a picture of the car with this package please upload!

and how is it compared without this package.. what do u guys think about this package? driving property on the highway/country road with/without asphalt? in sharp turns etc..

I found a website where the car have this "bad road package" but I dont know if its the same?

http://www.garaget.org/?car=146547 I cannot say it looks like this car is 150mm higher then other fabias?

I dont drive at bad roads all time but at fishing-trips etc.. there are sometimes big rocks in the road..

And in Norway we have speedbumps every 50 meters... at least it feels like that..

And anyone know if the factory gives me a new "5 months" waiting if I add this package? - perhaps they cancel my order and add a new? hmm

have waited 2 months already.. dont want to wait 7.

Well it sounds really good and most of all i like the under-run protection of the motor and gearbox

10mm equals 1cm, so it is extremely difficult to recognize the height difference by viewing a photo. The car from the link is the pre facelift and she is not a Tsi but HTP

I like fishing too, no need of giving height to the car. Even at speed bumps and worst of all by "climbing" on pavement.

This is a joker question. Don't push your luck.

I don't know if something like that is available in my country, or what the price is (in euros), i wouldn't keen on ordering it, except the under-run protection (if available) mostly for avoiding damages by hitting dead animals or other objects.

I've been considering the metal under-tray for our Mk1 Octavia - I understand it is quite heavy and by itself reduces ground clearance a bit, so perhaps the raised suspension option on the Fabia is partly designed to offset that.

If the main problem is poor quality road surface I'd be also considering fitting a wheel and tyre combination that gives a taller sidewall.

I see now in this pdf that car is lifted 150mm with bad road packgage. (not 150 mm extra). http://www.skoda-auto.se/mediadb/_files/user_skodanew/Skoda_Fabia_web_46907.pdf (page 38)

witout bad road its 135mm

Guess 15mm higher shuldnt be any problem.. and the extra stuff shuld be great for my car perhaps...

Added "bad road package" on my order and I got the same factory date as before - week 8

Nice with extra protection under the car.
