From what model are you going to order them? They dont have a B7 fitment yet do they?

They dont, but I am just gonna get the ones for the 2009 Passat VR6 or the CC VR6 Sport... Same stuff... When I was installing the R32 Brakes I took a look at the shocks and all... It all looks the same.
So just like I took a chance with the R32 Brakes I will do the same with the Coil's

But this wont happen for another month or two....

Good to know! I am going straight to a set of 20's, but want to make sure I can lower the vehicle ASAP when I do that. I am talking to a few people about what springs to go, but if it looks like the B6 stuff, should not be a problem!

Not too worried about it. A 255/35/20 has a sidewall that is only about 15mm shorter than the SEL 235/45/18. Ill be just fine with that. Overall diameter is within less than 3 percent difference, so it gonna be just fine.

Headlights are H7, we need to get up a complete bulb list for the car.

I have no idea what size they are..... Yes 17" rims will fit ovet them... well I know that the GTI 17" rims fit over them.. I am not sure if every 17" rims will...

BTW.... Passat is getting a Resonator installed right now...
Took it on a nice 3 hour trip to Tennessee... Holly crap so much drone at 2000RPM
I love the sound of it around town, but as soon as I get on the interstate it needs to be toned down a bit.

I was thinking a resonator was in your future after I heard the sound...

Went through the same thing with my R32....Loved it around town but I have a 30 mile commute and it would get real old.

what do you mean "...and ride quality"? You are saying the springs only vs coils are better? Do they have H&R springs already for the B7?

They don't but we are 98% positive that the springs from B6 passat will fit no problem on the B7 passat

The R32 brakes fit no problem
