What did you do to your Octavia today?

Will the mk7 r Springs fit a mk3 rs wagon?

I don't know. The R is AWD, the RS is FWD and there are some differences in the back end mechanicals. You'd have to ask the spring manufacturers if there's much of a difference in the spring perches. Probably the easiest way is to look at the partnos offered by the coilover suppliers to see if they are the same

Keep in mind the R is a lot lighter in the tail than an RS so you will get some lows - esp with a load on board. Maybe wait for the R-wagon and use springs off that?

These are the ones you want and fully compatible with the RS. Different springs for R and GTI. Best get in contact you find which are more suited to the RS Sport Springs (ACC compatible) - Volkswagen Racing

As Brad alluded to above, isn't the RS (particularly the Wagon/Combi) heavier than the Golf, thus are those springs you've said above 100% compatible with the RS?

It states in the compatibility list the springs are compatible with the Octavia RS. Which set it doesn't say. Best ask the manufacturer.

Mechanically they'd fit but I reckon it would have a droopy bum as the VWR partno is the same for all MQB platform vehicles.

If you look at the Eibach cattledog the R has a partno is
E10-85-041-01-22 (black spring pro-kit) with a 10-15mm drop front & rear. The axle loads are 1100kg F / 960kg R.

For the RS TSI & TDI wagon AND hatch the partno is
E10-79-010-02-22 (pro-kit) with a 20mm F / 10mm R drop. Axle loads are 1070 F/ 1075 R.
or
E20-15-021-05-22 (red Sportline) with 25-30mm F / 25mm R drop and 1070 F / 1050 R axle loads

If you look in the Eibach catalogue the individual springs have a link to the Allgemeine Betriebsurlaubnis (german certificate of conformance???). It gives the (excuse spelling and the English isn't a translation - just what I know it is) Dractdurchmesser (wire diameter) in mm; the ungespannt federlange (wire length) and the gesamptwindunszahl (number of coils - I assume it's total so subtract 2 for # active coils) & the ausfurungbezeichnung (partno).

You can use this to calculate the spring rates (assuming all the steel has the same heat treatment). (you have to guess at some dimensions but you leave these as constants)

This can be resolved if you just get KW coilovers

[ozgti]

Don't want coilovers.. Too harsh

Not if you get the right ones with a decent spring rate.

+1. Gotta pay to play.

Genuine Skoda Octavia Plastic Boot Dish (5E5061162).
Genuine Skoda Octavia Heavy Duty Rubber Floor Mats (5E2061550).

The plastic boot dish fits perfectly in the boot and helps protect against spillages and dirt. It's about 100mm deep.

The heavy duty floor mats also fit perfectly and are a very snug fit. I put them on top of the carpet floor mats for that extra sound deadening.
