Re: Has anyone lowered their RS yet? (mannyo1)
Aha, I asumed his RS wasn't lowered. But now when i look at the pictures it doesn't seem to be that much lower than stock

Jacco!!! What kind of springs do you use and how much do they lower the car?

The lowering is normaly 35 mm, but the wheelshop ordered the wrong set. The ordered an set for a TDI. The lowering is now about 15mm in front, at the rear it is ok. The driving is absolute super, better than original. There is no diving under braking anymore, the handling is less sloppy. I'm thinking of upgrading my shocks now. And not to koni sport, i had those on my golf, great handling but no comfort. So I am looking for some good quality shocks. Maybe bilstein sprint, or koni standard (red).
greets!

Ok, thanks for the info! How is the comfort with lower springs? Is it much harscher than original? I had a golf mk2 Gti in the past that had 16" 45 profile and was lowered about 60mm

I really don't want the skoda to behave like the golf. It was far from a pleasant ride. Almost felt like a gocart, wich was fun, but ordinanry potholes felt like they where 2m deep http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif
Cheers!
