Has anyone lowered their B7 Passat?

[brad]

Hey

Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I have a b7 alltrack and there is no way it will ever be seeing the off road, bu the reasion i bought it was due to its all motion and being diesel being great on fuel.

So Iv been trying to get it lowered but cant find any dealers that can get wagon springs. got a quote for a set of king custom springs but including fitting the price was near $1750 and that is absolute bull for a set of springs.

Anyone know where to get wagon springs from?

Cheers

I'm not sure what you mean by "dealer can't get wagon springs". Of course they can get them - they just need a VIN from whatever type of wagon you want springs from. Or search the number yourself at partsbase.org

The King Springs quote sounds insane - there must be something wrong (distance / communication?)

Try K-mac Springs. I've had them do custom work for me before & it wasn't OTT - about $300/pr. They are in Sydney so you might have similar issues to King Springs.

Heasemans in Sydney is worth a try

Have you tried someone local to BNE like Fulcrum, Lovells, Carrolls, SSA,


You've got plenty of options for lowering:

1) adjustable height coilovers

2) Eibach Springs (about $600 delivered ex-USA); H&R springs , etc

3) Found these on eBay Not sure if that's your model.

4) Skoda Superb or Octavia & VW Golf springs will fit. you just have to take a bit of a logical punt. eg: I run Eibach diesel wagon springs on my petrol Octavia sedan - they work well.

5)look for an international seller on ebay UK or Germany

6) Look at ECS tuning

7) wrecked cars like
