    Looking into coilovers with tax return money (go figure!) and would like to sell my current setup (as previously stated). They've been on the car for about two and a half years, but only 15k miles, roughly. Purchased brand new, currently have the adjustable dampening set at around its lowest...

    I dropped my car on H&R love the way it looked on day one, loved them even more on day 3-4 when they really set. Any who, i kept the stock springs, anyone know what i can do to upgrade my ride quality since lowering does give a rougher ride, living in these houston streets is hell on my ride!

    Hey how's everyone doing today? I just got a used h&r cup kit in the classifieds and I was wondering if I should go with the 1be bump stops, since they are designed for lowered suspension. I need new bump stops anyway and I don't know if I should get the standard bump stops or the sport bump...

    which do you guys prefer for lowering coilovers or lowering springs? Which would be less bouncy? I hate bouncing around the streets

    I'm looking to see if there would be any interest in my H&R Sport Springs, I'll update with mileage but I only fitted them in August 2013 and drove the car little since (less than 8K if I remember right) It's too low for my needs although the look is great. I'm looking for $170 plus...

    I am wanting to sell an extra set of Koni Struts and HR OE Sport Springs for a '98 - '05 Passat. I bought this stuff a little over a year ago but never installed it. (it was intended for my' 98 GLS) All items still in the box, boxes were opened to check for shipping damage. Kept indoors. Gotta...

    I've looked all over, and I can't find anywhere that sells OEM (I don't want to lower my car) B5 wagon springs for the rear. I just installed my system in my 98 Passat sedan, and it seems like the back end is a bit lower (I'd guess the equipment is maybe 100lbs total?), so I was thinking wagon...

    So I have them installed. Really nice. All it needs is sway bars mainly on rear. Car lowered by 1/2" and has a better rack to it than with US stock springs. Added A4 upper strut brace as well. Big difference in handling now. I still think though this car is not super exciting to drive. Love...
  14. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Can it be done? How much will it raise the rear end ? I carry a whole family in the back on occasion and my rear wheels rub when I go over a bump. My goal is to put the springs on so when I do carry people in the back the ride height will stay the same as stock. I just want to know if anyone...

    I'm looking for a set of B5 wagon rear springs. Added a subwoofer to the trunk, and getting ready to add a 2nd battery, and the rear of my B5 Passat is sagging a little. From what I was reading, the wagon springs are a little stiffer in the rear, and should help bring the back of my B5 back up a...
