Hey guys, moving from VW to Skoda. Octavia Style 1.5 e-tec ordered with dynamic packet.

 

I'm still wondering about the different suspensions. Current Golf MK7.5 has sport suspensions, which is nice. Perhaps could be abit more stiffer.

Octavia is at the moment ordered with sport suspension. Not sure how does it differ from current golf, but the rear axle is at least different.

 

What do you guys think about the sport suspension for Style vs DCC? I'd like to have it lowered from factory, and the -15mm is quite okay. DCC gives -10mm which might not be noticeable. 

 

How does the sport suspension compare to DCC Sport setting? Or even the beyond sport selection? :)

Also sport suspension has a selection on driving mode (invidual) to go from Normal to Sport, what does it really do?

 

If i'd want least Golf's sport suspensions, should i just skip the DCC? I think i would not be changing it much away from sport. 

 

Also one thing, does driving mode always go back to Normal when you start the car? Or does it keep it on Sport or invidual?

 

Another thing, is the Sport suspension (-15mm) same as vRS and sportline default?

Lots of questions, here is my stab at answers.

 

Its only 10mm lower with DCC

DCC is variable dampers, not suspension (springs)

All cars now revert to normal setting when started

The rear axle depends on the engine, the 1.5 has simpler system than vRS

 

If you really want very sporty suspension then really you want the Cupra Leon, as Octavias are set up for family comfort.

- Yes as i said  I guess the -15 vs -10 isnt noticeable.

- My bad, i ment dampers

 

All cars now revert to normal setting when started

- Not Invidual on Golf Mk8

- Yeah, unfortenately eg. Golf has better rear axle than octavia 1.5tsi/e-tec. Not sure how much it affects.

- Well that was not my question. Question was what is the most suitable setup for me as i'm limited to 1.5 e-tec and Style.
