Front shock absorbers

[farooq]

Hello everyone,
I have SEAT Toledo 2013 and I would to know if anyone replaced their front shock absorbers with after market ones and if they are happy with them and if you could tell me what brand did you get. Recently I replaced mine with Sachs shocks and Sachs coil springs and they are very hard. When I drive the car it's very uncomfortable. Thanks

Did you get the correct spring rate?
The diesels and 1.4 TSI weigh around 100kg more than the 1.2 and need a stiffer spring. If fitted to the 1.2 those springs could make the ride harder.

The car is the same as the Skoda Rapid. Skoda UK used to recommend Eibach pro-kit springs which are 30mm lower but apparently don't effect the ride and are compatible with the factory shocks. Eibach do different specific springs for the heavy and light versions of the car.
