Hi I have a 2009 Skoda Octavia Elegance and I am looking to raise the rear suspension for towing a trailer. Can somebody direct me to where I can buy (or can I buy) such springs or stronger shocks, or spacers?

 

Thanks in advance.

From the bloke who bought mine last week specifically for towing & because it had uprated springs but now decides he should have been told that the ride height was 20mm higher and objects to having to fit a drop plate (I kept the one that I had on it) because his trailer drawbar is too low, he really did ring up complaining and expect me to pay him for newer new springs (they were only a year old) and 2 new tyres because he had punctured one in driven with it flat 🥴

 

Now I have got that off my chest what you need are Lesjofors part number 4295088, highly recommended (except by one person) and I have just fitted a set to my Yeti 4x4 Outdoor for which they are the standard fitment.

 

On the Octavia Estate they give a slight lift and a higher spring rate without any change in ride comfort or handling.

 

Cost €22 each plus €15 delivery anywhere in Europe bought direct, webpage can be set to English.

Hi J.R. Thanks for the information, that guy was a clown and chancer. 

 

Is the website Lesjofors-Automotive.com? 

 

The part number you supplied is that for the Estate model as mine isn't an Estate, it's a Hatchback?

 

Sounds like the website, yes mine was an Estate, its easy to select your vehicle.
