    Which Shock's do our Octavia VRS have?

    Trying to find out if we have the 50mm or 55mm shocks
    (Is that the outside diameter or the steel shaft diameter?)

    Thinking of getting coil overs and multi pot brake calipers
    Don't want to lower the car much for normal use,
    but would be nice to have adjustables for track days

    You front struts are already "coil overs"
    Its the tube diam.
    Drive it 1st on a track. Ill bet you wont get any faster by changing anything other than driving style and tyre pressures.

    OK, thanks, I've measured the outside tube and it is 55mm
    I'm keen to give the car some added traction from stationary, less nose dive on braking
    and perhaps better rebound control (still evaluating that aspect of the stock shocks)
