Octavia combi mk4 1.5tsi e-tec ride quality - harsh suspension over sharp edges

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have a problem with my Octavia mk4 1.5tsi e-tec ride quality on standard suspension.

otherwise I'm very pleased with the car but the suspension drives me crazy! Very floaty when cornering and over slow undulations, but very very stiff and and harsh over sharp imperfections (potholes, manholes covers...). I have 205/55 R17 tires, so not very low profile. I tried with lower tyre pressure but no noticable difference. I replaced OEM shocks on the rear axle with Bilstein B4, but again not a noticable difference.

all VW cars on the same platform I drowe have noticable better ride quality!

I came from Ford Focus Mk4 and the susspenion was way way better even with R18 rims on focus.

Anyone found any solution or expirience same thing?
