Hi all.

Has anyone changed there rear springs on there car for some heavy duty or stronger ones.

Wanting to change the rear ones on my estate as it dose tend to go down a bit when I have loaded it up.

Thanks

Either get some OEM Passat / Superb units (they'll have a bit more spring rate & height than Octavia) or try a bespoke automotive spring manufacturer like Springcoil.

 

mr Google isn't very forthcoming for suitable suppliers in the UK.  Down here automotive spring manufacturers are a dime a dozen.  Kings, Dobinsons, Lovells, K-Mac, Selby, Monroe, Pedders.  Surely you guys have similar "small" manufacturers that can make whatever you need at a reasonable price (eg GBP150-200)

 

Maybe this mob can help?

Or springs from a Touran
