passat 1.8 20v sport

Ive just got a set of coilovers so i thought i would put up a few pics of my daily before i lower it

Shes a tatty old girl and thirsty but she has treat me very well over the years

 

Why lower a family car? Honest question.

 

There's an answer to this but I've had a beer so best not....

 

It was cheaper to buy the coilover kit than it was to buy one new spring from vw
I had an mot fail on the snapped spring and my dampers are the originals from new so pretty tired

 

So why not get standard stuff from local motor factors?

Of course VW would be expensive. I bet for 1 corner at VW you can do 4 from a motor factor

 

Because they dont do the spring fitted to the sports model only the standard length springs and standard rate dampers

 

Furry muff mr para doodle. I should have known there was a perfectly reasonable explanation.

 

At least you can take corners a bit faster now

 

Im not daft

 

We have proof that contradicts this.

 

You have a T2.

 

Nice wheels....

Yes just the wheels ....

Not a fan of any modern car....

 

Deck it Para!!

Run it on the chassis rails haha!

 

Ill have to be carefull how low i go as the sump is quite low on the passat

 

Those wheels may end up on the paravan one day

 

The wheel arches can swallow some pretty big wheels and you still can get the car to sit nicely

 

Engine/gearbox raise, custom subframe, extra thick sump plate and bobs your relative of some sort...

Hell, as you're going to that kind of effort you might aswell just bodydrop it..

 

that was quick para , think of the cred your get taking kids ta school too just dont wear ya mini skirt
