Kategorie: Bilstein Stoßdämpfer Škoda Octavia – B4, B6, B8

The Škoda Octavia shares its platform architecture with the Volkswagen Golf family, but uses its own suspension mounting geometry. The Mk1 (chassis 1U, 1996–2010) predates the PQ35 platform. The Mk2 (1Z, 2004–2013) runs PQ35 underpinnings. The Mk3 (5E, 2013–2020) and Mk4 (NX, 2020–present) use MQB. Confirm your generation by the third-generation indicator in your VIN, or check the build year on the door pillar data plate.

How to choose

The Bilstein B4 is the go-to replacement for a tired Mk2 or Mk3 Octavia used as a family car or taxi — same ride quality as new, no compromise on comfort. The B6 suits the Octavia RS driver who wants a sharper feel from stock height. Tein coilovers are popular on the Mk2 and Mk3 RS.
