I am on the wrong side of seventy plus, when it comes to cars have never grown up. last three cars Alfa 156 selespeed, Alfa GT and Alfa 159 Sportwagen. Decided to go electric compromised went hybrid like driving the back roads of France.

So I need to know the rear disk size of 1.4 iVrs, want to change to cross drilled. Any suggestions to lower about 50mm obviously springs anyone done this, do the they have make and suppliers.

 

Appreciate feed back, by for now.

The ride eight on the hybrid is higher because of the battery. I personally wouldn't lower it, especially for the pot-hole ridden roads where I live. What are French backroads like?

I have not driven in France since before Covid, my son has. Roads are better than ours. Their autoroutes brilliant, although they have clamped down on speeding.

The Octavia is a nice looking car, but too high. Have seen several pictures of Octavia,s phev, with lowered suspensions look good.  
Had broken springs on my wife’s Fiesta and on my previous Alfa 159 Sportwagen. You try to drive round potholes.
