After a long road trip I become furios on the very soft and bouncy standard suspension.

There is enormous weight transfer under bracking and cornering.

Would a stiffer anti-roll bar help (does the sportline ore fit). My superb is a 190 ps 4x4 sedan/

I totally understand. When doing test drive I felt exactly same with standard suspension and went for DCC that does not bounce and wobble even on NORMAL setting. 

 

But back to topic. I sincerely don't know if Sportline anti roll bar would fit with normal suspension. Most likely it will because Skoda would want to keep as much parts compadible as possible for reducing building costs. On the other hand, Sportsline suspension is lower so it might have some effect on undercarriage geometry .... but I can't figure out how lower springs can affect anti roll bar but it's saturday morning and I aint sharpest yet 

 

Maybe first step could be some good quality lowering springs? https://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=1825110640;car=skodasuperb

One topic on briskoda: 

 

 

 

 

I completely understand and I regret not having selected the DCC as an option. Furthermore, a subtle lowered suspension looks tons better! Here is my car  when loaded with lot's of luggage on vacation and it looks much better than standard. I decided to go for a lowered suspension as well and already was in contact with someone on skodaforum.nl who's placing Eibach sets but he recommends installing this as soon as possible meaning below 30.000 km or 18.000 miles and since my car is just over 30.000km I'm still doubt. Anyone knows why this is?

Furthermore, he can't deliver an homologation certificate that is needed for my leasing company, unless you don't mention it at all 

Are there any other suspension options? I really want to get this topic going to find more people with experience in this area

Did you already change something on the car @gigolea?

I have DCC and still think it's a bit ship-like in the corners unless in sport mode. Does anyone know if lowering springs can be fitted with DCC on the Superb? I've heard of it on golfs but wouldn't know which springs to get

Eibach springs work well with DCC

Thanks, I looked at those on their website here but the rear ones are 25mm lowering and 30 to 35mm front which sounds odd to me 

They work well that way. Tried and tested. 

So the Mrs will still like comfort mode and not complain?

Indeed. 

A stiffer anti-roll bar will do nothing to help weight transfer on braking, it stiffens the car laterally (i.e anti-roll, not "anti-dive").

So there r no complaints, system/electronics-wise, from DCC when lowered with these Eibach springs?

That's been my deterent thus far.

Someone at skodaforum.nm recommends installing lowering springs below 30.000 km or 18.000 miles. Does anyone here know why this is? My car is well above that and I'm not sure what to do...

I was thinking the same mine has done about 26k now

i'm assuming so that the factory shocks, being newer/younger, will adapt to the newer springs installed.  

 

imagine pairing up new springs to shocks that has already done 100,000kms!!  at that point, ur better off changing the shocks as well, not just the springs.
