Default You're absolutely correct; the picture is showing the "stack" upside down compared to on the car

And thanks! I got the idea from coilover purches, thinking that's essentially what makes height adjustments possible.

Default I'll check and see what I can do...

It'll be a couple weeks before I get some shop time, and I'll have to see what the guys at the shop say about making a few more of these, and for how much...

The shop I have access to is the departmental mech shop that's meant for making research equipment in house for us; I have already bent that rule once by making the set I'm running, so we'll see how things go.

Default this is for my bro's passat, so $$$ is a deal breaker

it's the front that really needs to be raised anyway

Default Are you sure that the rubber spring seat is the same on the Passat as our cars?

I would've thought, if anything, it'd be the same as the B5 spring seat (which could be the same as ours, I suppose)

Only way of knowing if ride comfort's improved is to try the "Mrs Akula Oregon roads" test.
