Hey guys,

I have an eibach sport springs that supposedly drop my car 1.2". Now, I also bought a bilstein shocks (part# BE5-6542 and BE5-6512). My installer told me those dont match . I am guessing the shocks part # is wrong because I read somewhere that those shocks only works with OEM springs.

Can you guys tell me what the correct part# for the bilstein shocks that compatible with my eibach springs?

Thanks a lot!!!!

JJ

If they are the HD,they are not for lowered vehicles.

My friend, it would really help us to know the year and model of your Passat.

You can also visit the Bilstein Website in order to search for the correct part numbers for your car!
