UKPassats

i never claimed to know more than Eibach? I put some coilovers on it because its an old passat with quarter of a million miles on to make the ride & the astehics a bit more bearable for a daily drive, no point making the passat into a drivers car imo, as thats something it'll never be! If you wa...

about 120mm

Those who have had both on the same car and comment will have the most valued valid opinion .

Yep, i had springs / dampers on my last b5.5 - the ride was crashier & it wasn't anywhere near low enough

i wouldn't bother with springs & dampers on an old passat, i found it a struggle to justify £150 on cheap coilovers - which i have no problem with even very low- i paid a grand for my passat, propper springs & dampers were £300 - its a large percentage of the cars value , seems illogical t...

Lowered the front tonight & still need to do the rear. Painted them horrible blue lines, sorry about the silver paint on the tyres I'll get some thinners on them tomorrow!

beauty!

Nice one I always pick em up as they are only round the corner when are they going on?

Did you get the coils from venom ?

Cheers - I need some rear spacers I think they look a bit lost at the back

Fitted the ch's think it needs to be a bit lower

They come like that, I know it's horrendous but going to paint over it when I refurb the lips In other news my z4 has gone in to get some rust repaired on the tailgate so the Passat can have a rest for a bit now got this 320d m sport http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r597/jamie330ci/AE3A7DFD-23F7-...

haha they aint bad for £150

To make up for the dissapointmemt of the Rota's - I got some BBS CH's tonight off an Audi S4, and a nice one it was too!

Audi is a premium brand of the VAG range so seems the logical choice,

I bought the Rota's off Demon tweeks & they said they've *no swearing* up & refunded my money, i'd never buy Rota's for full price or anywhere near it- i only bought them because they were £197 delivered Was hoping i had some consumer rights on my side but ebay seem to have their interests ...

i have sent a message to them saying i've bought a set of tyres & custom PCD adapters - i aint holding my breath though.

Big company though i believe.

Well, i thought it was too good to be true Had an email off Demon Tweeks this morning saying that there was 'clearly a pricing error' on their behalf and that they'd refunded my money this morning, Good job i didn't buy tyres & wobble bolts then! Anyone think i've got a case? Or just accept defe...

Look forward to seeing this one come along I like the wheels you have

Haha indeed. They were too cheap to not buy

Loads better, plenty of room to go down more too? How`d you get on with your pinch bolts? Or did you find a way around it? Thanks mate yeah about half way down the adjusters so literally miles of room to go down! Top Pinch bolts weren't budging so I took the shock out from the top - there are 2 bol...
