Adding Eibach Springs and Spacers to the vRS

[Falkster]

Simpsons Preston. Whilst the price is not cheap, you do benefit from an official Skoda dealer supping and fitting the springs which is a benefit for those looking to keep the task in warranty.

Do you know if the price includes wheel alignment Moley?

[Moley RUFC]

It does, yes

[banksie]

15mm rear, 10mm front.

Awesome GTI quoted me £150 for fitting and that was also an offer price so maybe £200 from a dealer is reasonable

Ha!... my dealer charged me £400 for fitting (only)... and he said he was doing me a favour as they reckoned £600 would be the normal price!!!

Unfortuantley my spacers are coming off the car due to a job change and company vehicle being provided. So give us a shout if anyone is interested in them

What size are they?

Edit: just back and you have 15mm and 20mm. I'll have the 15mm if they are still going.

They are 20mm with the longer bolts also

Sorry Rob, read the earlier post incorrectly. I'm swayed towards the 15mm as I've had 20mm on the back before without any on the front and it looks a bit unbalanced. Never fancied putting them on the front tbh. I'm sure you'll get shot of them sharpish.

Out of interest what company car are you having?

[Robfab]

No problem at all, understandable. Ill be honest I think 10mm would be better just on the back.

Its actually a vw caddy ill be getting. Im taking the career choice iv wanted to do since my apprenticeship so its a pay rise as well as not needing my own car so another pay rise there. The misses has just ordered her new fiesta so we will have that for a few years abit of cheapness and holidays then iv got a soft spot for golf r or s3 that she can use.

Went for 15mm spacers to the rear in the end Rob. Just enough to push the 19" Extreme alloys out without a bit. Collect the car on Monday and springs are being fitted by Skoda Wednesday.

Really looking forward to seeing the pics Moley. I've got the Extremes and am teetering on the edge of springs & spacers. Your selected set up is my preference at the moment, so I'm very happy to have you as a guinea pig. Not that it will look anything other than awesome!

[Moley RUFC]

No problem Kitset, I'll post some pics next weekend when all is done!

What workshop rate do you charge Moley? Might be tempted with spacers myself!

[Moley RUFC]

Two packs of digestives, a Mars bar and a copy of Razzle.

Actual lol!

[Moley RUFC]

I'm negotiable on the Mars bar but not on the jugs. I'm holding firm on the jugs and the jugs must be firm (copyright Bottom Edmondson/Mayall)

[Falkster]

Blimey! I might not bother with the spacers when I come round....the digestives sound great!

Has anyone fitted 10 or 12 mm spacers only on the back and can share pictures?

[Falkster]

Moley has just started a thread on his new vRS with pics; "From vRS to vRS". Spacers finish the lowered look nicely.

[kristianRS]

You mean he has fitted spacers or that it would look nice with spacers on? I can't find that he mentions spacers anywhere in that thread though

[Falkster]

He's fitted spacers. 15mm IIRC to the rear only.
