Photos of Vision rims on V6 Passat Wagon

[Lance B]

Hi guys,

As discussed in my other thread:
http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=16400
Here are the photos of the Jetta Vision 18"x8"rims on my Passat Wagon. Fitted with 235/40 95Y Khumo KU31 tyres. I'm now thinking of lowering it with H&R coils. They drop it about 30mm, but this maybe too much. Maybe a 20mm drop would be better:

I reckon that car would look good even with 12 slotters!

Seriously though really nice choice - you must be happy with it.

30mm definetly if not a little more.

An important thing to remember, it's not dubbin unless it's scrubbin.

Car looks amazing by the way. Congrats!

Thanks, Peter.

I agree the car would look good with the 12 slotters, but I just wanted something a little different.

Thanks, Neil.

I like the quote, "it's not dubbin unless it's scrubbin".

Anyway, I will see what the H&R guys have to offer on their lowering spring kit.

The Vision wheels work very well

Great combo Lance look forward to future mods

Thank you, Ben.

After looking at the R36, which is, as we know, lower than the 3.2 Passat, I think I may just have to lower it.

Where are you getting the H&R's from. I believe Milan from TCCA is the only importer of them. I highly recomend them too - top work with no BS.

That's where I'm getting them from. Spoke to Milan a number of times and at the VW Nationals.

Lance,

Be prepared for a hard ride. I got the 18" chicago's option (which included lowering i think) and the hard ride is getting annoying after 15mths of ownership.

I'm sure you have weighed this up already (the looks/ handling benifit vs firmer ride comfort/discomfort), but for me the increase in stiffness and hence loss of comfort seems a lot more than i counted on initially (after having it now for 1yr+).

You have 40series tyres too, mine are 45. So its all adding up if you lower IMHO.

Fairways and greens lads..
