What VAG generation or version are our late model Octavia VRS cars based on? I assume VW Mk5?
Want to know/understand for parts compatibility

APR Stage II ECU - APR 3" exhaust down pipe & high flow catalyst
APR/HP Roll bars - Eibach springs and Bilstien shocks
Supaloy lower control arms - Enkei 18*8 Wheels -
pre-FL models are similar to MK V, FL models are similar to MK VI. -
Its a mk5 platform car. The engine choice was updated along with the mk6 golf engines but as the mk6 is mostly a mk5 anyway (drivetrain compatibility and suspension) then really its all mk5.
The mk6 golf is really not much more than a facelift mk5

Thanks a lot guys!
I'm looking at parts compatibility - suspension & brakes
As well as after market products which don't list Skoda so I need to relate to a VW platform/version2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers

for suspension - probably wont matter much for something like coilovers, but for spring kits and shock absorbers, spring/damping rates need to be octavia (and model) specific as the weights are quite different. Theres a thread in this section about aftermarket springs already.'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension
