    as mentioned i have a 206r....was thinking of just the front springs and possibly rear sway bar, i really dont necessarily want the front that low, but always felt the look and the feel just comes across as the front being too high, and then overall tracking and body roll, even in sport mode just has not translated / compared to the 'old' R36 we had for 8 years...even at the end it still handled brilliantly

    Lenny, take measurements of you vehicle's ride height measured from the center of the wheel to the edge of the guard. This is so we can determine the current ride height and what can be achieved after installation.

      Front = 390mm
      Back = 375mm (approx 3/4 fuel)

        also not sure what the sway bar set up is stock, but feel like it could do with something at the back

            On the AWD Skoda Superb sedan the approximate ride height achieved after installation front and rear is 355-360mm.
            Given this the amount of lowering you'll achieve is about 20-25mm in the front and 10mm in the rear. The kit will work fine with the electronic dampers.

              Lenny, I noticed you mentioned your vehicle is 206R , is it a sedan or wagon ?
              Anyways the front ride height achieved after installation will come to approximately 350-355mm. However if this is too low there may be other non listed options that we can look at. Attached is a photo of sedan that will provide a good idea on front ride height.

                Lenny, The Anti Roll Kit (upgraded sway bars) is noted not to be applicable to the AWD models.

                    hey mate, here’s one for you - my wife’s daily driver is a 132TSI B8 Comfortline - she would like a little lower, but not enough to make speed humps an issue for instance. We will be upping from 17” to prob 18” wheels in the future.

                    can you get a nice flat stance (not bum-high) with a little higher ride height than the pic you posted above?
                    Cheers

                      thanks for those numbers and pic of the 206R.
                      i like the height of that. 20mm drop is perfect. i don't want any more.

                      i'll get in touch with u early in the new year, to organise something. thanks again for your assistance

                      i'm looking to finish up similar the drop in this pic, maybe a tad bit higher.

                              Hi Anthony, is the wife's car a sedan or wagon ? Also measure the ride height, which is the vertical measurement taken from the center of the wheel to the arch. This is so I can understand the current stance.

                                Thanks mate - will get those numbers for all 4 corners and get back to you hopefully tonight. She has a sedan.
                                Cheers
