Does anyone with a base model Octavia wagon want my RS Springs?

[Tigger]

If anyone with a base model Octavia wagon would like my Genuine RS springs, just PM me. It would lower the base model to the standard RS height I reckon?

I have installed the 20mm Eibach springs...and love them so much!

Only after a few dollars...

Cheers

Springs / shocks / sway bar here!

What's the cost of putting springs in?

Not sure if this is going to be a worthwhile mod unless it can be a DIY job.

Was considering buying Darkshadow's months ago but decided not to due to weight differences... I reckon those springs would be ok on the back, but jack the front up due to my car not really having an engine

Yeah - I have spare stock Wheels/Brakes/Springs/Roll Bars/Control Arms/Air intake plumbing
I've sold the Neptune wheels to a fellow forum member

The springs are easy to swap by your self, the only special tool needed is a spring compressor
(Good idea to check wheel alignment afterwards however)

What engine does your Octavia have?

the 90tsi / 1.4L turbo only (not twincharged). lets just say i can see the ground below if i open up my bonnet (can be confirmed by mysticality).

I put 2.0TFSI VRS springs in my 1.9TDI and the front ended up about 5mm higher than stock.... like I said in an earlier post - theres a big difference in the tare axle loads for all the different octavias, so the rates are all quite different.

I'd hazard a guess that the 1.9TDI is heavier than the 1.4TSI, so my octy might turn out like this

Wow - that's rare for any car these days - lol

my previous car was an old V6 A4, couldn't fit anything in the engine bay. in the 90tsi there's a void between the engine and the battery where you can see right through the engine bay here's an example

Yeah, not a good look for sure.

The engine (or head) has been turned 180 degrees - the exhaust & turbo are at the front!

The exhaust is still up the back IIRC but there's a water/air intercooler right next to the inlet...... or that's how it's done on the 77tsi.

[hitman]

hmmm could be interested in these springs depending on the price of course. If genuinely only a "few" dollars then def yes

Longer exhaust manifold pipe could drop exhaust pressures some?... (I'm still learning about these things :p)

I'll take your word for it.
