Since I've decided to keep my Passat until death rather than do the buyback, I decided to get some new wheels. I always wanted the 18 inch ones when I bought it but couldn't get just the wheels on the SE without buying them in a package.
19 inch Enkei Raijin with 235/40 19 tires
H+R 1.5 inch lowering springs on koni sport struts

Hows the cornering? I wont be lowering but I cant wait to upgrade to some better shocks and struts...
I really like the KONI struts. But the lowering springs really got rid of the body roll and made it stiffer. Feels like a real European sports sedan now

Congrats. Good to know that the floatiness can be removed.

Are those new rotors? Cailiipers look sharp. What paint did you use?

The rotors are actually original with 133k now. The picture doesn't do them justice for whatever reason. They're rusted heavily in the fins and have substantial grooves in them. They aren't warped though so I've been motoring on. I may get a drilled set eventually
