Lowering Springs with DCC

[Pass2093]

Hey mate, just saw your post as I was searching for information on my Passat. I work at Eibach here in Australia give me a call during business hours I’ll look after you.

HI Pass2093.


Where abouts are you, i am thinking of tightening up the sloppy feel of the Passat R to bring it more in line with our old R36

Hi, I’m located on the Northern Beaches in Sydney. I don’t want to be seen as advertising here but I’m genuinely willing to assist group members with there suspension requirements.

I have a 132 wagon as my daily drive, a change of just the rear springs made the world of difference in driving dynamics for me, as I found the vehicle to sit up too high in the rear.

got it, fair enough, i did not want to impose or presume anything......

as mentioned i have a 206r....was thinking of just the front springs and possibly rear sway bar, i really dont necessarily want the front that low, but always felt the look and the feel just comes across as the front being too high, and then overall tracking and body roll, even in sport mode just has not translated / compared to the 'old' R36 we had for 8 years...even at the end it still handled brilliantly

Lenny, take measurements of you vehicle's ride height measured from the center of the wheel to the edge of the guard. This is so we can determine the current ride height and what can be achieved after installation.

Front = 390mm
Back = 375mm (approx 3/4 fuel)

also not sure what the sway bar set up is stock, but feel like it could do with something at the back

Mine is:
Front - 380mm
Rear - 370mm

Half a tank of fuel.
Tyres r 235/40 R19.

On the AWD Skoda Superb sedan the approximate ride height achieved after installation front and rear is 355-360mm.
Given this the amount of lowering you'll achieve is about 20-25mm in the front and 10mm in the rear. The kit will work fine with the electronic dampers.
