I guess if you plan to autocross it.. then yes. Or if you like the looks there’s always that. But I drive my car really hard and love the setup I have with Koni active struts/shocks, front and rear swaybars, and a Malone Stage2 tune. Just need to install my subframe kit cause the OE subframe...
I went with stoptech drilled and slotted rotors with stoptech pads because i like how they look. Performance is good also, I have about 40k miles on that setup and they still have plenty of life.

Do you always reuse the same subframe bolts? I dropped my subframe twice when I did my front swaybar and reused the bolts and ive had the subframe clunk ever since. I just got the isolation kit in with some ARP bolts and gonna install this week. I did the front swaybar to stiffen the ride. I...
You don’t need vcds to switch to agm. I installed a larger battery, non-agm from Walmart. It didn’t fit perfectly in the tray but i was still able to secure it to the existing tray.

Gotcha. I have 145k miles in mine and the bushings still seem to be in great shape. And I drive rough and also tow. I don’t take it to the track but I’m often on winding roads at high rate of speeds. Also have slightly oversized tires compared to stock.

I’ve been running it for at least 100k miles. No issues with the emissions system. I removed the tune anytime I take it for dieselgate warranty stuff. But since the “fixes” were applied I’ve left it on. I love it! At most a burn a quart. I’ll add 1/2qt at around 3500miles into the interval, and...
Seems like some people have issues and other dont. I also drive my vehicles very hard. I wouldn’t expect it to happen and it doesn’t affect my opinion about the car.

You definitely need to replace the subframe bolts because they are tty bolts and will stretch. I ran into this when I installed a front swaybar. I re-used the factory bolts and my subframe shifts when turning at slow speeds and you can hear it clunk loudly. However, I just ordered both sets of...
I’m running better front and rear swaybars plus Koni red Sport struts and shocks. Very helpful in the handling department. I have 145,000 miles on my ‘15 Passat which I purchased in Oct ‘14. Other than it burning some oil. It’s a great car! I also have a Malone Stage2 tune with factory...
I’ve been having oil consumption issues fir the past 2yrs, since 60k miles. At 140k miles now and have to add 1-2qts between oil changes.
