    It's the one on top of the headlight right? I turn it right / left, and nothing is changed. My car is 02 btw.
  2. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion

    Hello all! I'm looking to buy shocks in the coming months, and i want front+rear height ajustable shocks, like the one's s_klass had for his GB a few years back (and i'm not going near his GB now with all the recent problems). When i went to neuspeed's website, and all they seem to have are the...

    Hello everyone, I am new to the site and love all the info on it. I've got a W8 dream car, but am wondering if there is anyway to install the Audi Allroad adjustable ride height system into the VW. I live in New England and would love a lowered car, but the snow can be a killer. If not the Audi...

    Is there a way to change the height of the peddles on a 5spd manual? I would like to have the clutch, brake, gas, and dead peddles on the same plane. The clutch and the brake are too high and they need to be set back about 1in. Don't want to bend anything if I don't have to looking for an...

  7. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I have FK adjustable coilovers and I plan to lower the car around 1.75", unless this A) causes rubbing when I turn or B) hopelessly stresses the control arm bushings. FYI my uppers are CPP C/A, my lowers are Meyle HD versions. I initially had Eibach pro springs, which lowered the car 1.25"...

    Does anyone know if its possible to lower the perches without removing the shocks from the car . I had my shocks installed at SRS and my car is sitting higher than it was before . about 1/4 inch higher than my Eibach springs with the stock shocks . TIA Fabio

    I think it would be fun to create a nice big library of the most jacked-up cars ever seen on the web. Allow me to post up the first doozey. Instrument cluster found.... between the sunvisors! Web page found here: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/7840/worldsugliestcar.html

    Which drop is right for the b5 in your opinion? I can't be the only who loves it dropped to the floor :-P. 1. leave it stock 2. a nice mild drop (ex...sofsports) 3. more aggresive (ex..sports) 4. if you ain't rubbin, you ain't dubbin :-P (ex..race springs coilovers etc..) I would make...
  12. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    i'm deciding on the best spring/shock package and i'm just asking what ride lowering would be appropriate, i want either 17 or 18 inchers, and i want to be able to go over speed bumps but i want a super street sport look, what would be a good intermediate ride lowering? 1 inch? 1.5? 2? any help...
  13. Wheel and Tire Forum
    I'm really torn about upgrading wheels. I don't want to go thru the trouble of lowering my car ( W8 ) but I'd like some bigger wheels than the 16's it's got. I'm afraid it will look like a 4x4 (which, I guess it kinda is) if I move to bigger wheels without lowering the car. Is it worth...
  14. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I had installed the 1BE springs with stock shocks for about 3 weeks. The drop on the driver front is 5mm lower than the passenger side. What is the cause?? I just send the car for toe alignment which I tought may correct this difference. My ride is a 2003 Dec 1.8T Tip Passat Limo with 18" rims...
  15. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I was using H&R sport springs with stock shocks, I think it’s still too high, then I changed to Bilstein PSS9 coilover kit. The front setting is excellent in stiffness and height but problem is at rear. I don’t like the stiffness of the Bilstein coilover rear springs which is too stiff for me...
  16. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Hi everyone I had change my rims to 18" and after driving it for a few days, I realise the passenger side is higher than the driver side by 10mm, both front and the rear. I don't think VW design the car to ride this way. What could be the problem? Has it got to do with the camber settings...

    The time to dilly dally is over.... My V6 B5.5 is arriving today or tomorrow :wink: and I can't wait to drop it. I've done my homework and pondered over page after page of searches on these forums and have come to one conclusion.... There appears to be little consistancy between what the...
  18. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Hey all, Searched the forums and had no luck.... My question is what the stock ride height should be? Unfortunately, I did not measure it before I put on my FK suspension, and I wanted to do a compare to see how low it went. It seems REAL low (though I have never before had a lowered...
  19. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I have 2002 B5.5 and I just had the full 1BE setup without front swaybar installed on Saturday, and it is suffering from the "raked look" bigtime. I would take some pictures, but it is embarrassing, almost rediculous. Looks almost "Toyota Echo-ish". YES, it is THAT BAD! I had the Eibach...
