Skoda octavia cup suspension

[Daemon]

Hi guys, great forum,tons of info and great guys also.

I own an skoda octavia vrs and I recived from my old man a fare amount of money this xmas so I want to upgrade the suspension.I was thinking at bilsteins pss10 or KWv3 but both those setups have an separate rear sping. for hard track days I wanted a full coilover at the back also, I've found a pic with this kind of setup but I don't know wich brand it is so please help.



Thank's a lot

Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the Forum 

I have a MK2 Octavia vRS but I'm running Koni FSD suspension.

Not sure what that suspension is but they must have been giving it some to do that to a wheel

Im pretty sure the Octavia cup suspension uses SACHS dampers...
KW do a kit the same as this also, but you will be looking at around £5000 + for just the dampers, and it wont last very long using it on the road!

There are other ways of getting round it tho if you know what your looking at, im looking to have some rears made this way so i can go for a rod type tow link (the arm that the spring usually sits in).

For road and trackday i would say go for the KW Clubsports, they come with 60mm diameter race type springs front and rear so you can get all different spring rates easily!

Its better to get more stiffness through re-valving the dampers tho instead of using stiffer springs...

KW dont do clubsports for the octavia.  They also say the golf mk5 clubsports wont work.  Very helpful KW as it will only be a slight spring rate change i would have thought.

If the cup suspension is the same as the supacopa stuff then its Koni.

Yes, the KW clubsport will work in the octavia as well. I'm sure.

i dont doubt it would fit as the suspension is 100% interchangable. wheni removed my cilovers and soldmy vRS, it was fitted with some ed30 Suspension that i bought off jonnyC.

So if that fits then so would the Clubsports.  the only issue would be the spring rating maybe?  Damping i cantsee being an issue since they are adjustable

The leons are differnt,
Im pretty sure the mk2 Octavia CUP cars use SACHS like the mk1 leon Cup cars....

And Clubsports do fit the Mk2 Octavia, you just need to ask for the rear springrate to be changed when ordering, we have done this to a few kits now and it works really nice

The clubsport spring rates should be stiff enough in most cases, they're much stiffer than V3.
If you run on track regularly call KW for perfecly matching springs like Luke said.
For street use there will be no need for custom made springs.
