I don't have any experience etc but am definitely interested in following this thread. I have seen suspension kits on UK sites with uprated polyurethane bushes etc but they were definitely expensive. The problem would be getting the right parts to fit your vehicle. Overall, there are 9 suspension variants for the front and 9 for the rear on the 4wd Yeti. If you can tell me what paint marks (number of marks and colour) that you have on the front and rear springs then I can tell you what particular variants you have. This will give you a starting point.
I do know that Koni put out some uprated shock absorbers for the Yeti that are OEM replacements.
Orrrright! *rubs hands together*
The bicycle crowd call it "upgraditis", I can see it affecting this particular member of the Yeti crowd in the future.
Re. suspension marks and colours I will let you know ASAP, thanks plbxr
Still want to keep the same ride height because it will be off road at times, that is why we bought the car. But things wear out, I would be interested in seeing if any replacements have different damping rates etc.

If you are looking for a softer ride try 16" wheels with 215/60/16 tyres. That is what I use for winter, the Michelins with a taller sidewall give a much smoother ride with less road surface transmitted through. Also probably due to the brand of tyre (Michelin Alpin)I get around 4mpg more and it is far quieter. Changing wheels is far less drastic than changing the suspension, and the wheel/tyre size I use is offered on some Yeti (lower spec).
Yes I have heard about the tyre/wheel combination making a difference.
I'm not planning to change anything immediately, but if I heard of a change that improved the suspension over corrugations, that is the way I'd been heading.
Thanks, Rob.
I have a yeti 1.6 diesel. I think it is start /stop which I take to mean the car engine cuts out when I come to a standstill in traffic and restarts when I depress the clutch. While my car sits on the drive the car will run the battery down and eventually it will become flat. I may wish to use...

I bought Roof bars from Graham a few weeks ago and shortly afterwards visited my local Skoda dealer to buy the bolts and washers for the roof rails. Theyve been sitting waiting for a spare day, today is that day. However - when I briefly saw Grahams bolts in his roof they looked relativily...
Good moaning all, can I trouble those of you who have fitted a towbar on a budget ...
I'm on a budget so I'm looking get a silk purse out of a sow's ear by getting a used towbar and then fitting dedicated VAG electrics.
Used Yeti towbars are few and far between (and usually far away!) - so...
