Has anyone had any experience with lowering a Yeti. I find the space for the wheels (17inch) looks somewhat oversized...

Puzzled why you'd want to do this
Isn't greater ground clearance a feature?
I'd suggest buying an Octavia...2006 VW Golf GTI Silver Mk5 5dr manual no options (the way nature intended) SOLD

It's my understanding the lowering springs / shocks to suit the Tiguan will suit the Yeti.
I'm thinking of doing it too, given the reality I offroad like - never, might as well make it a road burner.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Lowering a Yeti
Yes I have lowered mine.Originally posted by SkodaYeti View Post
Used golf r springs I bought second hand. Nice and stiff around corners especially with a thicker rear sway bar from a golf gti.
Because mine is a 2wd 77tsi, and I wanted it to handle more to my tastes for the majority of my driving.Originally posted by code618 View Post

Cool great tip, looks perfect to me!
Just be aware the GTI / R rear sway will only suit the 2WD models, you need a 4x4 Tig etc version for the 4x4 to get around the rear haldex diff. I've my sights set on a Whiteline one for a Tig.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Cheers Cbay - looks nice! what was the approx cost of this conversion all up?Comment

Go the Superpro. The way the whiteline is secured (locking collars around the swaybar mounts) leaves something to be desired. The mounts will come loose and the bar will slide; and start clunking.

some some coilovers and set whatever height you like!
pretty much anything to suit a PQ35 chassis will fit. just be careful if you need 50mm or 55mm front strutsComment

What mk model golf R coils did you use? are the coils from mk6 and mk7 the same? and would the coils then suit the 4x4 yeti as you said you have fitted them on your 2wd.Originally posted by cbay View PostYes I have lowered mine.

Sorry for late response, from memory it was shy of $400 (time/labour), I also had second hand a rear sway bar from a golf GTI fitted at the same time.Originally posted by SkodaYeti View Post
Springs second hand < $100
Rear sway bar second hand = $50
Alignment < $70

I received springs from a mk6 R, and I think they would more suit the 4x4 (up front) than the 2wd.Originally posted by BOR444 View Post
