Coilovers are on, it's amazing, just threw the spacers on (15 front 12 back) no problem, spun down the fronts some more, pictures in the morning when it settles. For those of you who know my passat, the RS's are ideally going on tomorrow, so I'll have pictures of both cars tomorrow

Front's coming down, gotta see about the rears cause with the spacers they are rubbing bad, but if I pull the spacers I can bring it down a lot. Also needs a wash... bad. Wheels for the passat aren't done, not gonna say they'll be done friday cause I'll just jinx it. ****'s weak. Adjusting all this right after I post this.

Front is all the way cranked down, spacers are off the rear for now cause it was rubbing (although it look sooo good) so I'm gonna see if my shop can grind down the tabs on the bumper, and see if it stops rubbing so I can put em back on. Fronts are perfect for me where they are now. I'll get new pictures tomorrow

Thanks guys, pretty happy with fitment too. Setup as of right now, with spacers is as follows:

18x8.5 et 20, 225
18x9.5 et 26, 255

No rubbing so far. Looks great imo. Got em from 323 Motorsports in the classifieds.

What LM reps are those? VMR? Linea Corsa? And I've never bought reps but are they all roughly the same? Weight? Strength? Etc...
