Volkswagen Passat B6 (2005–2011)

Springs at the original ride height are a large part of the Passat B6 listing, from Eibach’s ERL line and Bilstein’s B3. On a car of this age they are worth considering before anything lower. KW coilovers make up the biggest group overall, beside H&R twin-tube and monotube units, ST, AP and Eibach. H&R Cup kits, ST kits and Bilstein or Eibach B12 kits combine springs and dampers. For the track, though, begin with the brakes: change the fluid, choose EBC, Hawk, Ferodo, PBS or Pagid pads, and EBC or DBA discs. A tyre fitter can deal with tyres and the geometry after that. ACT clutch parts are listed as well. The saloon and estate from 2005 to 2011 share the page.
