Hey! I was wondering if anyone knows the height between the tyre and the fender on stock 2001 VW Passat b5 suspension! Thanks in advance.

So, I have an old 2002 Passat Wagon, which has been a rock-steady workhorse. I never was satisfied with the lights, and I finally decided to get new headlights, as the lenses were yellow, and the height adjustment was broken and the lights just illuminated the ground in front of the car. I...

Looks good. Volkswagen has revealed the Alltrack version of the new Passat ahead of a public debut set for Geneva Motor Show early next month. 12 pictures and full article .

Original Wheels: Wellingtons 15"x7" ET 37mm Original Tires: 195/65 R15 Replacement Wheels: Le Mans 17"x7.5" ET 47mm Replacement Tires: 235/45 R17 Fitted without any spacers. Plenty of room towards the wheel well liner, however VERY close to the steering knuckle. The Le Mans wheels have...

Hey everyone, I've been out of the game for a few years with family stuff, but wanted to check in to see what the current aftermarket is like for the wife's car (soon to be mine). It's a sluggish behemoth of a car, the 2.8 4mo wagon Tip ('01.5). Compared to my 5MT GLX sedan ('98), it's hard to...

Hey all: I am midway through my B5 wagon's wheel upgrade. I have 18x8.5 ET45 fifteen52 Tarmacs with Contintenal DWS 215-40-18 tires on them and am now purchasing spacers and new lug bolts to pop them on. I've found that Achtuning sells H&R spacers for a bit less than ECS and plan to get 10mm...

I have a 2002 Passat 1.8T wagon with Tiptronic that's currently riding on Koni coilovers. The ride height on the Koni's is not adjustable in the rear. I'm looking to raise the car up about an inch as I'm bottoming out over speed bumps. I was planning on keeping the Koni's and just swapping out...

Can somebody post a pic of their Passat on Eibach Pro Kit? I am concerned the ride height will not be low enough? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I'm having trouble finding pictures of how the Stock B5 should sit. It seems like it should sit mostly level in the wheel wells, but mine is much lower in the back than in the front. And it scrapes the rear mud flaps rather often. Here's a picture of the car from when we bought...

Hey guys, two of my wheels have a slight bend in them giving off a mild wheel vibration. Along with that my tires are going to need to be replaced soon. I figured I can kill two birds with one stone. I have a dark green b5.5 wagon and am trying to decide between 17s and 18s. I am at the stock...

Hey dudes, I am adjusting my coils for the first time tommorow and I want to make sure I get this right. Can you all help me with these questions: Do I turn the perches counterclockwise to lower and clockwise to raise? And, this should be the same on all 4 corners right? Last, how tight do...

I am performing the all too common window regulator replacement. All is going well, but when I got the thing back together, the window appears to be tilted when rolled down all the way. That is, the back of the window is not down all the way. I have verified that the window is correctly...

I want to raise my B5 back up (1999 V6 sedan) but not use the stock springs. Currently Im on the most aggressive neuspeed springs which are just too damn low and give me terrible inner tire wear (too much camber). Whats the ideal height so that I wont get tons of negative camber? Do I need to...

I have had the car up on jackstands now for approaching 2 months. One of the last items I need to complete before I can drive it again is to torque the bolts for the control arms. (they have all been replaced) Before I started I measured the vertical fender-lip to axle-center distance with the...

I've been doing a bit of thinking about how to increase spring rate while reducing ride height by cutting springs. I think I've concluded that if I modify the spring rates on all four corners in equal proportion to the front/back, that the amount cut would increase the amount of rake in...

I was wondering if you guys knew about a countersunk shift knob, something that really takes the shifter deep inside of it ( giggity ) I recently installed a short shifter, yes i enjoy the short throw, but i still don't like how tall my shifter is and short of cutting it in half, i was...

Hey eveyrone, post your Ground to Fender Heights along with your wheel and suspension set up :) For me I'm Running 18x8.5 Mercedes CL rims with a 215/35/18 and my ground to fender height is 22 and 7/8 inche's up front :) THis is mainly for PEETAH!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone knows a good brand of shocks/struts to get for not a lot of money. I want to retain the stock height as I already have a lowered car and don't like driving it in the snow. Also anyone know where to get the rear sway bar kit? I added one to my focus and it was night and...

I was looking around my engine bay, and decided to take the cover off. This I what I found... The plugs were last replaced at 40K, the car now has 77K. The coil packs were recalled at 10K mi, I believe. Is this cause for concern? The car seems to run fine.
