SEAT PD160 Intake and Jetex drop in filter on Fabia VRS
I'm really pleased with the performance of the VRS since fitting the PD 160 and Jetex drop in filter. The power is smoother through the gears and i've noticed a slight increase in mpg which is always good with the price of fuel at the minute.

VMaxx Coilovers four months on
Well the VMaxx coilovers have now been on the VRS for four months. After fitting the coilovers in March I had nothing but good things to say about them, four months down the line I'm still as happy with them.
The Ride.
Over all the ride is as comfortable as the standard suspension you do feel pot holes in the road more so be warned if you like to drive down the road ignoring the pot holes coilovers are not for you. but if you want a firm comfortable ride then I'd say its good money well spent. The standard suspension on the VRS is not good enough for the power of the engine in my opinion anyway.
The handling of the car is a lot better than the standard suspension cornering the car holds the road better not wallowing and feeling a hell of a lot firmer, I feel confident when cornering and taking islands at average speed the the cars not going to suddenly flick out on me.
The Looks
I'm still really pleased with the look of the VRS on the coilovers it looks squat and people still double take when it goes past. Yes it's a Skoda but it buts a smile on my face when you see kids walk past saying "look at that cool car".
Conclusion
Over all I'm really impressed with the quality and performance of what many consider an entry level set of coilovers. Yes you can go out and spend serious money on a set of coilovers but take into consideration how long your going to keep the car and what you use the car for. If like me you just want the car to look good and to increase the handling performance of your car the the VMaxx coilovers are a very good upgrade. If your looking to take you car on the track then it might be worth investing more but I'd have a chat with your local specialist. The first thing I do before any upgrade is to go have a chat with Jody at Midland VW and ask his op pinion and he'll be honest and tell me if its worth the money.
