lowering springs

Featured Replies

Hi, new to this site. I have a 2016 Octavia VRS estate with DSG (184bhp)  on a 66 plate.  I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get a spring lowering kit for this model and year. I would like to just lower it by 25mm to 30mm but can't  seem to find anyone who supply them.

Have a search and you will see plenty of people have lowered using either H&R or Eibach springs.

 

My car is on Eibach Pro Line springs.

 

Demon Tweaks currently list the SportLine springs.

Just email H&R in Germany and they will tell you the part number you need. Then onto eBay, search H&R plus the part number and you’ll be sorted. Then go to shark and have it mapped ;-p

Thanks for the replies, waytotall, do you have the same year & model as mine and if so what is the drop on the Eibach pro- line springs?   Esseesse200, I am looking to have it re-mapped, where is shark please?

2014 Manual VRS TDI Estate. As far as I know there weren't any suspension changes between these years. Didn't measure the drop but here are some photos

BTW The Sportline series has a lower drop than the Pro Line

Many thanks for your advice and pictures. Your car looks identical to mine, even the same colour

Shark is in mansfield but they do have a couple of dealers around the country. Worth a phone call to Ben or Carl there tho and they’ll advise.. I’m blown away by mine. Had it done yesterday.. also pic of mine with H&R springs and 12mm spacers on. Be careful with spacer size tho as if yours is the facelift with the split front lights they are already 10mm each side wider at the back tgan the pre facelift

Damian @ DPM Performance 

with the vRS already lower thn stock and some advertisers quoting 40mm, are there any springs that lower a full 40mm on the vRS or is it just stock - 40mm meaning about 25 AFAIK?
