Fabia vRS Coilovers & Alloy Wheel Upgrade

This weekend saw the fitting of the V-Maxx coilovers and TSW Deep Dish alloy wheels.

Initial reports and feelings from this are that I am very pleased with the finished result of the car. The coilovers have produced a good stance on the vRS and the ride has not suffered considerably. The ride is now firm without being jaw shattering which is often the case with cheaper coilovers.

The coilvers were purchased direct from V-Maxx here in the UK. They have been working hard to get these coilovers into UK distribution as they have been huge in Europe for several years. V-Maxx are manufactured in the Netherlands under an intensive development programme to ensure that ride and driveability of the car is not compromised. Lots of people want to use coilovers but are worried about the ride becoming to hard and juddery. With the largest spring range on the market and being sold in over 35 European countries with TUV approval, the V-Maxx range of coilover kits offers a great solution for Fabia vRS drivers.

V-Maxx on car height adjustable coilovers use the highest quality components and will allow lowering of up to 70mm depending on the application. V-Maxx coilover suspension kits offer a cost effective way to uprate your car suspension with fully adjustable ride height. V-Maxx coilovers are easily adjusted on the car and offer precise handling at a fraction of the price of other coilover suspension kits.

The wheels were a difficult choice. I was after something that would give the car the Euro look that its badge heritage deserved to stay close to. I didn't want to go bigger than 17s due to tyre cost when replacing them long term. Queue a visit to the TSW website.


TSW has raced to success becoming the market leader in the UK and one of the fastest growing brands across Europe. Each month, around 80,000 wheels are manufactured to meet the most exacting specifications and meet or exceed the German TUV standard as well as ISO9001.

All wheels are painted and receive a clear final coat to achieve optimum durability and the finest finish. The wheels are manufactured of the strongest alloys and engineered for maximum strength combined with light weight.

The wheels fit nicely into the arches now and having cleaned up the green VRS brake callipers over the weekend they reflect really well in the polished mirror inside rim of the Deep Dish wheel.
