Hi there,

I’m looking for a sport suspension setup, so shock absorbers with lowering springs. I come across a lot of kits for the MK1 and MK2 Fabia, but not for the MK3. There are options from Bilstein/Koni, but honestly, those are a bit too expensive for me.

I’ve seen a topic on this forum where a user installed a Vogtland suspension kit, but it also doesn’t seem to be available for the MK3. Or do MK2 shocks and springs also fit the MK3?

Can anyone confirm whether the AP Sport suspension with part no. 21381110 for the SEAT Ibiza Mk IV (6J5, 6P1) 03/2008–12/2017 1.2 TSI will also fit the Fabia MK3?

Or can anyone recommend something else?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi, welcome.

If you've not already looked, as well as the Fabia Mk3 forum you might find more information in the 'Fabia Projects' and 'Performance & Tuning Upgrades' forums on this site.

What you need to know before making any selection of parts is what you want to achieve and your expectations and what you will accept. Not all "upgrades" and "improvements" are improvements and most things on cars are compromises in many ways.

Also bear in mind tyres are also an important part of the suspension (and braking and steering) a change of tyres affects grip, handling and ride quality (and noise).

If you're looking for spirited driving then further driver training is very good for road driving of all cars and is fully transferable to other cars and future cars at no additional cost.

Good luck.

Yes, I’m aware of the pros and cons :)

I’ve already used the search options, but I can only find lowering solutions with just springs, coilovers, or B6/B8/Koni shocks with springs.
