Which Lowering Springs on 06 Octavia vRS?

If you have a planned future car already I would honestly stop spending on the one you have.

Springs, shocks, geometry, bushes and top mounts while you are there. It all adds up. If you plan on reusing shocks be prepared for at least one to be bad.

Thanks for the advice Breeze.

Sure I'm planning on a next car but it won't be for at least 5-6 months until I can feasibly afford it (at Irish prices), and I don't want to be riding around at this awkward suspension height until then. Or even longer if I want to wait for my actual dream car to come up for sale (V50 T5 AWD manual).

I hear what your saying about the different parts that should be replaced while you've got everything taken out. Is there any way to check these before biting the bullet and replacing the springs? Should the bushes and top mounts always be replaced or is there any danger of reusing old ones? Obviously if when I the shocks are taken out and I see they're on their last legs or shot I'll replace them, but at the minute ride quality feels fine.

I was expecting it'll need a realignment after anyway.

Apologies for my lack of knowledge on this subject, looking forward to learning the hard way  :smiley:
