Coilovers for Felicia??

[Steve]

Hey everyone!

Trying to find out what off-the-shelf coilovers will fit for certain onto a Skoda Felicia....any thoughts??

Cant be sure which but possibly golf or polo based suspension

Cheers
Steve

Seat Ibiza 6L should fit all round

Felicia has Favorit based suspension - i.e. pre-VW design. So nothing fits off the shelf.

You can make some using Nissan Bluebird or Primera inserts, chopping the Felicia strut up.

Don't know about the rear end, but the front end options I found when I had my pickup version. GAZ do make coilovers for the front (but not cheap) but mk4 golf fronts work as do Focus coilies, but you need to get either the hub opened out by 1mm or the bodies skimmed (or get them pressed in). the VW caddy forum has lots of info on teh options

Rears I would have thought(guess) mk1/2/3 golfs would do the trick

i know the skoda pick up uses mk1 focus front coilovers but the where the strut goes in needs boreing out, mk4 golf rear springs (not 100% sure on rear shocks) and down you go! but that depends if the rear is a different setup in the car as apposed to the pick up!

the rears are different, they are a coil over shock rather than a seperate spring

[pepe]

ahh no worries, at least he can find the fronts for now while he finds out what the rears are

You might be onto something there. They're similar to mk4 Golf setup but the bodies may be a bit narrower.

No. As I said on your first thread I lowered mine on 1.3 petrol springs and I ended up using Nissan 300zx front springs on the rear because I had some. Mine wasn't the kind of truck I wanted to slam so I never bothered getting coilovers, it had to move heavy things sometimes and the sump and ARB was very low on the diesel.

mine is a diesel and dropped 40mm at the moment but the shocks are just so curse word I want to put coilovers on it to get the ride better the sump and arb are fine at that height atm but don't really want to fyck around chopping up sets of coilovers. The 6l ones do look close I think I'm just going to have to get the verniers out and have a measure

6L front struts are 45MM, same as the Felica

[sam1275]

They are 50mm not 45 so will not fit

Huh. Sure the Seat I measured was 45MM. Back to the drawing board. As mentioned, Focus fits it seems.
