So what brand of spacers do people recommend and what size?, a lot seem to have 12mm but im not sure that would be enough and then some say 20mm is too much!?.

 

Can the spacers be installed yourself or once fitted does the tracking and wheel alignment need to be re-calibrated? 

I haven't done it on my Skoda yet but on my previous car I had 25mm spacers installed on the rear and it made the ride quite choppy, but high speed handling was improved a bit. I didn't have to get an alignment done.

Is that 25m each side (so 5mm an axel)?

 

Yeah think id go for 15mm each side (30mm an axel).

 

Im hoping pushing the wheels out further would close up the gap between my 18" alloys and the wheel arches, there seems to be a fairly large gap

Yeah it was 25mm each side which is pretty big, it was a Falcon Ute with big bulgy guards. I reckon 15mm would look neat on a RS

With any size spacers do you need to get longer bolts also or can you get away with the already fitted bolts? 

[KevC_Derby]

New Bolts, explained elsewhere in another spacer thread. You want to maintain the existing amount of thread engagement in the Hub. Measure an existing Bolt and add the length of the Spacer and get the nearest standard length not forgetting to get the Conical “Head” variant.

with 15/20mm spacers you will need 45mm bolts

yeah the original maxton and rieger carbon look is poor even the 'real' carbon is very poor quality. Dipping gives it a better colour and much glossier and has a better 3D effect.

[BlackOctaviaRS]

Thats why I asked About it ahah because from the side photo it looks different. And you dipped the big red reflector

[JohnnyType2]

yes didnt like it at all

Yep mine on H&R has been for 60k miles and no problems with the shocks etc. Ride is better than standard. 

Hi mate am thinking about lowering my MK3 Skoda Octavia vrs do u remmond it

standard vRS is -15mm over stock, this was -40mm over stock front and back.

The side on stripe image is a better representation as the suspension had time to settle after being up on the jacks, it was up on the jacks in the close up.

 

 

nope no rubbing at all and i live on very uneven rural roads. it actually handles the bigger potholes with ease feels much safer.

Hi mate is the car better lowered

Hi mate. Mine was on H&R 40mm and it was awesome. Even loaded it was still good. Just go for it
