1.6 estate rear springs

Post by PaulPaul »

Hello,
Wonder if any kind soul could shed some light on the rear springs for the auld Passat Estate.

Turns out there are umpteen lengths/rates dependent on specific car spec.

I'm needing them beefed-up a bit, they're tired now at 110k miles, and I'm about to put a tow bar on it.

I've tried using the sticker codes (L01; 0YE) to find oe springs but no joy. I also don't want to stick the 'towbar rated' springs on it as I don't want the back end sticking up in the air when it's not loaded.

Is there a 'happy medium' spring? A few mm longer than oe for my particular model? There's about 6 different Bilsteins listed on a site, with no differentiating spec other than different part numbers....which is useless if yer clueless, i.e me.

Any advice/insight most welcome.

Thanks.
