I wish I could install mine, I hamfisted the nutserts when I was putting them on with a youtube trick and now have two of the nutserts with broke bolts in them....when I get some more gumption I'll try to easy out them and just use a basic nut and bolt to attach them. Grrrrrr.
Part finally arrived from e-acca. Installed it with pushpins only and went up to 140km/h.
Notes:
- Car feels more stable in the rear especially during higher speeds. Compared to without it, basically you can tell that there is no longer any lift going on because the air is moving faster and there is less turbulence under the car.
- The car is also more quiet in the rear now.
- In the turns, the rear end seems less willing to be chucked into a corner. You need to accelerate in the corners more now to get the car to rotate. As a result, for R and GTI owners, I would highly recommend you to get a rear sway bar or a sporty alignment if you put this mod in. Right now the it feels like the car is less willing to rotate.
- The car coasts more in lower speed scenarios.
On Ontario's version of "B roads", the car feels a lot more planted on high speeds. I don't have any hesitation in doing high speeds in the car over less than perfect roads anymore.I like it when other people also note the same results as me....I don't feel as stupid...."did I image that or not?"...
With me having the estate which is 50-80kg heavier at the rear the "chuckabilitiy" of the car I haven't noticed a reduction in...but all the other stuff..yes & yes!!
Mind you I suppose in my case in the turns, it just feels more stable, as it felt just a wee bit too loose before (most was corrected by the big Passat rear axle/subframe cover).mind you my car has a factory stiff front ARB & a factory soft rear ARB..so it rear steers...

The understeer however has definitely gotten worse, especially on snow tires and in the rain. The car just doesn't want to turn as much and the front tires get overloaded.
I am interested how my summer tires will handle it - I will have to change them late next year and I am thinking of moving up to 245/35/19. Hopefully that might help the fronts get more grip and wash out less.
Ok so our entire region is under lockdown and the highways were deserted late last night in, uhhhh, Mexico. There was a decent crosswind.Interesting..my estate is running (as per factory spec) quite a bit of noticeable rear toe in....in my case I recon the extra rear weight, the softer rear ARB & rear toe in allow the inside wheel to stay in contact with the road which slightly pushes the rear outwards, forcing more load onto the outside wheel which is already steering into the turn..so the car gets quite neutral..infact I can get it to oversteer!..
Hi, another interesting piece of tune. I’m considering to fit them as any change to improve stability e.g. when overtaking truck in highway speed would worth a try. May I just ask whether it can be fitted in combination with Passat bluemotion cover that I already have? Thanks
You might want to run that through Google Translate one more timeCool. Many thanks!
My issues are more connected to servo behaviour like chewing gum in windy conditions rather than actual instability.
