You'll always get an output loss with a projector vs reflector but look at the lux difference measured in the video .

Re: My B5.5 and I.. In it for the long haul...

In those very rare moments of really low battery voltages the smart chargers don't charge something like below 7.5V where as an old school one will but tend to be too large for the bonnet to be closed. I recently bought a not so smart trickle charger for around £12 . SWTBC-In-Use-RGB72_1000x666.jpg ...

Re: Eibach springs

Well you have to find out ( usually a sticker in the engine bay 1 = front , 2 = rear ) as both kits are available for your B8 and it's all down to axle weights or rather just the front as rear axle weight is the same to 1250 Kg. So the choice is E10-85-042-03-22 , 1200 kg front axle weight , or E10-...

Re: Eibach springs

It's usually down to Eibach fine tuning to axle weights .

What are your front and rear axle weights ?

Also engine code and horsepower output ?

Re: fitting audi a4/a6 eibach springs to passat b5.5?

I would seriously stick with what the Eibach spring engineers came up with , lots of R&D goes into them and they fine tune the axle weights so much so that between saloon and wagon , engine combinations and fwd / awd there is 12 Pro kits .

Re: fitting audi a4/a6 eibach springs to passat b5.5?

The front has to have more arch gap to allow for a turned front wheel under compression when hitting a bump .

If it's silly tall then something amiss .
