That is lowwwwwww! How do you get on with ride comfort at that height (and sleeping policemen)?

^ what is your ride height?

On the weitecs I have the ride is fine at -36mm, better in fact than my (OE) Subaru STI and also better than the 118i m-sport bmw I was driving last week..

Not that low. Two finger gap on the front and one finger on the rear. They are KW V1 but the HPA branded ones. I have camber plates on the front with race springs so the ride is firm.

Haven't had any problems with the police. In Australia, there aren't many Skoda's going around so the cops probably think its stock. heheh :giggle:

Why would the police care how low it is?

:rofl: I guess that the term 'sleeping policeman' isn't used down under? Thats what us pommies call a speed bump...... :giggle:

I think the police in Australia are a LOT more strict on vehicle modifications. I remember vaguely reading something about it at the time that Lewis Hamilton did a wheelspin in his road car while in australia for the grand prix a couple of years ago.

What wheels are on your vin rs?

Wheels are VMR 709, 19x8.5, ET45 with 225/35/19 tyres

I remember that incident with Lewis. He got the C63 impounded after that.

Nope, never heard of that term before. hehe. But I learnt something new today at least :giggle:

Not too bad with the speed humps. The octavia front is not as low as gti,s3 so its no problem.
