    Photos of Vision rims on V6 Passat Wagon

    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.

    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.

    Its a hard ride.

    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..
