Carslton, Karhunik – many thanks. So very helpful. Order placed.

Thank god i found this thread, because i'm almost pulling my hair out trying to figure out the right springs.

Vehicle Details:

Octavia 2.0 TDI (2015) 105KW (NR3 46C) - twist axle rear

Axle Load(As per sticker)

Front Axle : 1020Kg

Rear Axle-2 950Kg

Suspension PR:L29 ( i have the Rough road pkg, i live in india)

After shocks gave up(60K), i picked up Sachs
Front : 560277
Rear : 318203

I want to basically get the euro spec setup for the 2TDI, and i'm just not able to figure out what springs i need to pick up
from the catalog, i'm not sure if i should consider the L08 or L09 as the euro spec or something totally different

It would be wonderful if anyone could help me figure out the part# from either Bilstien or Sachs to get the Euro ride height.

I dont want to lower or raise the suspension, i just want standard euro ride height .

Further Details.
i've upsized from 205/55/16 to 225/50/17 and final ride height is about 167.5mm . with a drop to euro spec(-15mm) i think i will at 152ish which is what i want.

Octavia MK3 2.0TDI estate 105kW/143PS (FWD Front Wheel Drive) (rigid rear axle)

Standard ride height front springs (manual transmission)

5Q0411105GK

Standard ride height front springs (automatic transmission)

5Q0411105GL

Standard ride height rear springs (without towbar)

5Q0511121AF

Standard ride height rear springs (with towbar)

5Q0511121AG

When changing from increased ride height springs to standard ride height springs, change the front shock absorber buffers to ones that have a 70mm height. The increased ride height front shock absorber buffers are often 90mm in height, so this change will free up an additional 20mm in front suspension travel. The 70mm buffers are what the factory Octavia MK3 cars use with standard ride height suspension.

Thank you very much @Carlston , this give me a very good heading .
one final doubt i'm having is the front axle load weight . the sticker on my car says 1020Kg(Front) 950Kg(Rear) and when i do some digging on the VAG part numbers .

Its showing up as PR:L06 .
what i dont know is if PR:L06 has the load capacity of 1020 or higher or lower. how can i find that out?
Does L07 mean its load capacity is higher than L06.
Could you please share, because i have to import these spring and i dont want to make a costly mistake.

I did a bit more digging,

I think these are the springs.

Can you please confirm

Front springs :B3 37-293215

Rear springs :B3 36-292936

according to www.skoda-parts.com for my 2016 pre-facelif octavia 5E5 scout 2.0 tdi 184 bhp the oem p/n is front 5Q0 411 105 HS rear 5Q0 511 115 AL

L06 is 5Q0411105GL, so it would make sense to fit these front springs. Kilen/Lesjofors lists these front springs as being correct for the Octavia MK3 2.0TDI 105kW/143PS estate with standard ride height (without listing whether it's for manual or automatic transmission).

Bilstein 37-293215 are sold to replace five different OEM part numbers including 5Q0411105GK and 5Q0411105GL so these front springs will be able to support the weight of the cars that these springs are normally fitted to.

Bilstein 36-292776 rear springs are sold to replace both 5Q0511121AF and 5Q0511121AG, so will be able to support the weight of the car that these are normally fitted to.

Bilstein 36-292936 rear springs are sold to replace 5Q0511121AA, 5Q0511121AB, and 5Q0511121AC rear springs. They are far too soft for your car and won't support the weight of the estate/combi/wagon.
