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

    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

    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)

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

    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
