Lowering

[Bong Water]

Has anyone lowered their B5?

If so, where did you get it done?

Did you use shocks and springs?

Any problems afterwards?

Positives and negatives?

Thanks

Get one of these as well . http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/vie...hp?f=18&t=2875

Or watch out for all those speed bumps. The B5's alloy sump dosn't like them very much.

i think perhaps u mite have to uprate the shocks to be honest , the boge springs i had on were quite comfortable and the 40mm drop iv had u can pretty much feels everythng on the road, just depends wot u can tollerate but then again also wot the car can tolerate, britains roads aint excactly the best now are they?

does anyone wanna sell me there standard springs? they need to be i reasonable condition.
my car is lowered 40mm and i hate it , damn speed bumps grind coz its on stnadard 16 alloys.

let me know by PM
