Eibach Pro Kit springs from dealer and were an option you could tick when you bought one. Cost new were £180 from the dealer.

Bilstein B8 Shocks. Cost new were £480. Transformed the car and damp much better than the stock items and is more stable at higher speeds.

They both compliment each other perfectly and is a must have on the Fabia vRS. Both items only on the car for 6 months so are almost new. Still have the original boxes

 

 

Springs - £100 Posted
Shocks - £380 - SOLD

MK1 or MK2? I know someone on here was looking for (MKII) Estate Lowering Kit.

 

Name is SuperTurbo

Edited 5 February, 201511 yr by Naths vRS

Mk2 looking at his past posts..... Sadly!

Since they never officially did a Mk1 Estate I thought it was fine

GLWTS if I had some money I would have the shocks from you, unfortunately i think that mod will have to wait until next year now  for me :(

Thanks. I've had to put them up for sale as the new car is waiting and I'm getting itchy feet.

Car is now back to stock. Getting it cleaned again and I'll be repricing. Don't really want to give it away to Skoda. Too good a car for that

Seriously interested, what's the overall drop vs standard with springs and dampers? Also what is the ride like in normal driving?

its 20mm front, 15 mm rear (different to the hatch, you need these specific springs (I have the eibachs too on my estate) because the rear springs are different to the hatch, keeps the loading ability, weight under control ect ... different spring rate) ... I believe the shocks are the same for hatch or estate... the bilstiens are the best you can get.

 

here's a pic of mine to give you height idea

 

 

add front and rear anti roll bars, and you have a weapon!

 

(hope this is ok martyn and helping, not hindering )

That's perfect. Thanks

The Bilsteins were awesome and how the car should have been from stock and compliment the Eibachs perfectly

Bump

you will not regreat it, got a RARB yet?!

Excited, had the fitting priced up by my mechanic, ordered the 40mm h&r estate springs from larkspeed.

I'm getting Dexter's old RARB, just waiting for a convinient meet time for us both.

Then it's yellow stuff pads and then need reccomendations on better fluid.

Then track....

Think the fluid is called ate super blue. Or something similar. Someone will correct me soon...

yes I have the ATE blue racing fluid, cured my pedal issues I had at the national meet last year (blyton park) ....

 

It will be interesting to see how you go at the track!

 

you have better shocks than me (I'm standard shocks) lower springs (mine are eibachs) same RARB.... but I also have the H&R front anti roll bar fitted (this winter, havent tracked it yet!)

 

our cars are very similar, yet different! looking forward to meeting you

 

edit: make sure the pads are DP41517R !!!!

Yeah looking forward to the dry weather and forthcoming changes! I suppose now is as good a time as any to start a build thread because along with this I have many changes planned.

Bump. Springs still for sale. Apart from the car itself it's the last of my Fabia bits I have left to sell

Bumping this as I've seen a few members lately mention lowering a Fabia Estate. I still have the springs

Bump! Still have the springs and they need to go. These will fit standard estates too but drop will be more. £100 posted
