My MkIII arrives in a month and I'm already planning mods!

Just wondering if anyone knows if any of my current handling gear will bolt on from the Mk2 to my Mk3?
 

Namely, my white line front and rear sway bars and anti-lift kit & my eibach springs?

 

I dont want to add on my Koni FSDs because I know the Mk3 has adjustable handling settings so I dont want to mess with these at all by adding in aftermarket gear. But not sure if any of the other gear would make a difference.

 

Also looking into control arms, but not sure if these are necessary.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

I would doubt it very much if anything can be swapped over as they are 2 different platforms.

 

Not sure why you think the O3 has adjustable handling settings?? That is available on the Golf VII but wasn't aware Skoda had made it available on the O3 yet, but it may be different in the AUS market to the UK.

The only thing adjustable on the Oz ones is the same as UK ones which is Mode button Sport, Normal, Eco but that only controls throttle and steering repsonse and non-handling related settings - there are no active dampers like the GTI ACC.

I'm also keen on upgrading the suspension down the track, the car is softer than I thought it would be. Even my Accord Euro felt flatter through corners, compared to my Focus ST/XR5 the Skoda feels like a boat. I'd be keen to put sway bars on first and see how that improvs things but I'm finding it hard to locate mods for the MK3 especially in Oz so pls keep us updated as I will be following this thread.

Have Whiteline not got anything yet for the MQB chassis?

So the GTI is getting it but not the O3... bugger.

Whiteline have nothing yet, I've even tried to contact them but no luck.

I might test the rear swaybar when I get it, I'll post results. No use trying the fron SW just yet, bout 3 hrs labour in that job!

 

I dont see why the ALK wouldnt fit, unless they have totally scrapped bushing diametres etc, which I doubt, but agan, I'll test and come back with results.

 

Cheers all.

front wishbones are totaly different on the MQB chassis - look a bit like an old MK3 Golf.

 

You can buy aftermarket alloy wishbones for the MQB
