Hiya, I have a 2014 fabia estate, 1.6cr and a 2012 greenline 2, which is currently off the road as the water pump gave up and the belt slipped. Have yet to investigate the actual damage.

I use my car for work, I am a gardener. So I bought the same car but with a beefier engine, I have a fixed towbar fitted which I did myself and pull a small trailer. I get 2 bags of green waste and the tools in the back no problem. Since owning the trailer I put weight in that too and reduce the weight in the back.

My question is regarding suspension upgrades I can do to stiffen up the back to increase the amount of load I can pull.

I've a few ideas, but need some sound advice from people who know about the fabia's.

I read that the greenline has lower suspension but the ride is also stiffened. Would the suspension set up from the greenline be an idea? Or the scout, which sits higher? Or a sensible idea or combination?

I've seen some of the old builds on here and I know there are some highly intelligent people here who can help.

Let me know thoughts

✌️

Welcome. @Carlston might be along and help with advice. I will alert a Mod so they can move your thread to the Fabia Mk2 section.

AHH man my bad, thanks dude.
