The first link won't work with the VRS model as they don't have the ARB attachment on the shock, you'd need this kit - https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/skoda/octavia/fk-ak-street-coilover-suspension-kitoctavia-1u-vrs-18t-0698

okeej do you have these listed on ebay ??

 

can you send me a link to it if you do?? =)

 

and are these a good coilover for the price ?? or would you recomend another brand  like the ta technix or jom or is this one  the better one ??

 

how  long do you think they last??   and will they rust if being driven in the winter

 

best regards daniel

We do yes - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FK-AK-STREET-COILOVER-SUSPENSION-KIT-DROP-LINKS-TT-LEON-CUPRA-R-OCTAVIA-VRS-/111513225705?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

 

To be honest most of the budget kits are very similar but I'd say the FK are one of the best out of them.

 

They will yes but so will most coilover kits unless you go for stainless steel. The best thing to do is wrap the threads in electrical tape and you should be fine.
