    Passat R36 rear suspension assist sought

    Hi,

    I have a 2009 Passat R36 station wagon.
    It has DCC

    When I load five adults with some bags or have a decent loaded trailer behind the car, the rear suspension bottoms out.

    The stock wheels actually hit the liners of the wheel wells.

    Does anybody have experience with rear suspension assist or knows of a simple solution.

    Would this work:
    ST Online Shop - Gewindefahrwerke, ST Spring distance kit RA 15 mm Sportfahrwerke, Stossdämpfer, Tieferlegungsfedern

    Or are there proper bag solution like this:
    Volkswagen Passat Wagon 3c 365 Firestone Coil Rite Air Suspension Assist Bags | eBay

    Obviously any solution should not impede performance and work with DCC

    Ideally there is a solution I can fit myself. Any pointers will be much appreciated.

    thanks

    Karel

    It has done 77k, so it seems a bit early for tired springs

    I'd be looking at the shocks.

    There was a question mark over how long they'd last, even before the R36 got DCC.

    Shouldn't be hitting liners at stock height though.
