Hi, mates.

 

Wondering if anybody runs a set of FK automotive springs on MK3?

 

How is the ride quality?

 

Thanks.

I had a Coilover kit in my previous car and it was not bad.

Waiting some feedback on mk3!

Hi guys,

I was wondering also if these FK automotive lowering springs are good for MK3 VRS Combi.

I am watching these: LINK 

A friend of mine bought FK for BMW 1 series and its looks very nice. Lower 40mm

I don't know about the springs, but clicked your link and they said "without approval", which means they are not TUV certified and therefore not road legal and will fail a MOT.

Go with H&R springs mate. I did mine and it's better than original. And as for loading vehicle up.fully loaded with roof box, wife and 2 kids it was still fine

If your going 40mm I'd uprate the shocks, on standard shocks I'd go Eibach and a 30mm drop

Did you have to geometry checked/adjusted afterwards? If not how is tyre wear - wondering if its a subtle enough drop to not have to mess with geo?

 

Do you have any pics of it lowered?

Yea had a hunter 4 wheel alignment after and everything perfect and tyre wear is no issue at all. All really even and nice and quiet

H&R quote 40mm for springs but in a VRS it lowers around 25mm it's a beautiful mod and well worth paying the extra for their springs.

I have 12mm spacers all round too

And this is it on the 18's without spacers

That looks great. Where abouts did you get the springs from?

Got the springs from a member on here who fitted them on his for a thousand miles whilst waiting for some kW coil overs and I got the spacers from eBay Germany, when the euro was good. eBay.de has some great tuning parts for the VRS octy. But when on eBay.de just type in Octavia 5e Rs as that's what it listed as over there. And add H&R to that if your looking for the springs or spacers
