VW Passat 2012- 2019 NMS - H&R Lowering Springs installation

[@alexhatcher8812]

This is helpful as its the same process to remove the lower mount on the shock absorber

[@doughlaz]

A list with tools and sizes would help a lot.

[@chrizee2001]

Very informative video. Thanks.

[@flute136]

this install is a bit much for me and the tools i have but it looks great!

[@gary1850]

Show us the GT’s stance after installment please and by the way I have a 2018 Passat GT also .I’m going to put Bilsein or Bcracing coil overs on it. Good luck!

[@gigi19mai1]

[@hillre14]

So those taillights you have will it fill the 2012 passat?

[@Tka4000]

Hello! Tell me please, the 54763-2 springs are the same as the 29162-2?

[@gigi19mai1]

I don't know! You will have to buy the springs based on your car model number.

[@Tka4000]

@@gigi19mai1 I have alsmost the same Passat NMS 2017 VR6 3.6 Sel Premium. In your video you’ve wrote the part number 54763-2. At the same time on your spring there are 29162-2 numbers. I’ve ordered the 54763-2 set, but I’ve got the 29162-2 set and I wasn’t sure if it compatible…

[@gigi19mai1]

@@Tka4000 Then they are good! The box has the 54763-2 code (min. 1:02), but the springs have the 29162-2 code.

@@gigi19mai1 thank you! 🤝

[@OBYourThirst]

i have 2018 passat R line, should you change the bump stop to be shorter bc now the lowering springs are shorter?

[@gigi19mai1]

In the H&R technical specifications is specified if you have to cut them shorter. It depends on the vehicle. Not required for my GT.

Where you get that service manual?

Thanks Brodie, great videos, I've been watching your channel for awhile. Keep it up

​@@gigi19mai1did I have to sign up for subscription to buy the manual, what's the process or steps to getting that manual?

[@gigi19mai1]

@@OBYourThirst Sign up for a day (roughly $30), search based on the VIN # and download everything.

[@erickdominguez16]

What type of H&R springs did you put? Also do you consider to put any bumper lights (fog lights? I know factory lights aren’t available for this model but do you have any idea for replacement?

[@gigi19mai1]

I believe they are called Sport Springs. I did though about fog lights and I found some but the borders are closed, so I'll wait till after the pandemic, since the shipment it's blocked or super slow.

[@erickdominguez16]

Please keep us posted about the fog lights replacement, thanks!

[@asdfasdffdcd]

that 90 degree wrench work sounds frustrating....

Good video... Where you get the "Repair Manual"?

[@damianlarios372]

Does the ride still feel smooth with the lowering springs?

[@gigi19mai1]

Depending on the road conditions. In my region they still use shovel and wheelbarrow for asphalt pavement, so it's pretty bad.

whats the end result?
