Re: My passat wagon - Aired out

Thanks mate :esm

The rear setup consists of a twin bellow stand alone bag. I am currently using my FK rear shocks but we are working on an additional rear shock solution.

Re: My passat wagon - Update... Aired out.

Hey guys, just thought id update this. The car is now fully on air. We have been developing an Airlift rear bag setup as mentioned, and is the first Passat in the UK to be running their new front struts. The struts are fantastic! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/308795_2159154251...

Re: My passat wagon - BIG changes!

Thanks for all the feedback guys, its really appreciated and has made the 6 months of insane work worthwhile!! I can see everyone's point on the wheels, as yes they are a little tame maybe for the overall effect, but I couldn't afford anything fancy right now, but it had to be 20's for me to really ...

Re: New Rimmage!!

I have indeed been looking at air recently, as it does appears that is going to be the only option for getting the stance i want and remaining a daily hackable car.

Ive been doing a fair bit of research into different options.

VW Festival was a great show this year I thought :esm

Interestingly mate, most feel the same. When I first painted it, lots were a little unsure due to the massive change, but the more they have seen it, the more they have come to like it, lol.
