Anyone know where I can get a decent set of lowering springs for a Fabia 1.2.

I want to lower the car about 30 to 35mm.

I have seen some around for about

Nothing but springs, the Eibach kits are around

I would have said you need to change the springs and dampers for them to be matched....try Jabba as they do Eibach springs and Koni dampers. I think AmD also do this combo.

I think Dev jsut did his springs though.

Doh.....he's just posted.

Looks nice, Is the handling a lot firmer while driving..

My girlfriends brother is a mechanic, so said if i can source the springs no problem..

Does it make a difference even though my car is 1.2...as I can see lots of springs for 1.4 cars

A BIT firmer? - Actually, it's a little bouncier over bumps in a straight line, but retains it's normal ability to soak up undulations, etc.

But.... around corners, not meaning to blaspheme, but JESUS CHRIST! - It stiffens up beautifully, and increase cornering ability massively (IMO) - Grip comes down to tyres, not whether the suspension wallows around bends.

edit: sorry, didn't answer all the Q's - You may have to check out the msport.co.uk website to see if they list a 1.2 kit yet, but IMO I reckon the 1.4 MPI springs would be really suitable. It would be worth checking the gross weight of your 1.2 against the 1.4...

Thanks for that, I am going to look around for a strut brace aswell, doing little things bit by bit...

Recently got the Car Chipped, K&N induction kit and just got the new ss exhaust, the car is around 90BHP maybe more or slightly less...

Great to have a mechanic at hand and no labour costs :-D

Remember to budget(!) for a pair of Jason's patented axle stands as well!!

Huh?? Me dumb?

I've said before they were just for added safety as that trolley jack was quite old, but as it happened, quite reliable too.

My mechanic mate was sort of paid - It was a you scratch my back kind of setup (I did a morning's labour doing shopfitting for his Mother in Exeter)

PS: anyone like the wiring for the amp coming off the battery? [red,mmm] - It was good fun hacksawing the battery cover to get it shut again, and I managed to use some sensible 70A cable instead of the welding cable I originally bought.

Robert,

I have some H&R 30mm springs for the Fabia if your'e interested. Got them for my TDi but werent suitable!

Robert - IMO, take Matt up on this offer! Those springs I believe would be perfect for your car, and at a price that's not going to break the bank!

Why were they not suitable? Only ask as Ive just got a set of H+R Fabia TDi springs.

Front was way too low.

Whats the part number you have ordered?

Mine are no. 29409-1 (103-248441)

Springs make a huge difference. My old 16v had Pi springs and it handled like a dream! Need to get the vRS suspension sorted now. Not as sure-footed as the 16v was.

As much as I love my vRS. I really do miss that car! :(

BUY THOSE SPRINGS they are a bloody good deal i nearly bought them myself but have now defected from the furbie clan and bought an octy

and how is the Octy, Alex? Or have I missed the thread all about it?

i am playing coy at the moment been too busy driving it but wow what a car!

enough said really

Will you be running the same Eibach springs in your vRS as your TDi? If so do you have the part number of the Eibachs? I will double check my H+R's tomorrow.

Cheers

Eibach: Skoda Fabia Diesel (ref. 7911.140)

Not sure if I will be swapping the springs over to the vRS - I've told myself I will leave the new one alone! Apart from a visit to Jabba...

Thanks alot Matt. I'll get onto Eibach in the morning. The H+R's I have are the same number as yours.

I owe you a beer :cheers:

I said I'd leave mine alone too, but need more confidence in corners. The old 16v handled soooo much sweeter!
