It is not the spring alone that affects the ride. Important to remember that the spring needs to be matched to the shock. I'm using the Eibach pro (springs and shock kit bought from Eibach Australia). Lower, good handling and supple ride.

Not including hers...
The ride height certainly looks really good

I have read that these springs are offered in the UK from the Skoda dealer as an option. Does anyone know if the shocks are also changed or do they keep the stock shocks?

Just the springs are changed. Keep in mind it's a new vehicle & Skoda dampers aren't a bad thing. If you have a few miles on them already (>60,000km) then you are better off doing the lot.
On most cars I'd bin the dampers around 40,000 - 50,000km but I managed 100,000km before they were showing their age.

I'd be interested in some eibach 20mm lower springs for my rs wagon, anyone want to do a group buy?
