Hi Holmes,

I don’t actually know what car you have – judging by the ad I’m hoping it’s a passat 35i.

However the (first) advert does say: “Antrieb: Frontantrieb” – i.e. Drive: front… i.e. (i presume FWD only). Is the passat liek the syncro in that the rear springs are different than standard?

Second ad says something along the lines of “Suitable for all 35i passat variants, apart form the 6-cylinder… again no mention of syncro.

Third ad says the springs are actually *from* a syncro G60 so unless you know for sure that the normal 35i and syncro rear spriings are the same, the third ad is the one i’d be looking at…but they do say please get in touch for shipping prices.

hopethat helps…

whilst I hesitate to recommend them, I used to get springs direct from avo in northampton… as in off the shelf items, but they were for coilovers, but they also did regular shocks/springs as far as I know so might be worth a try. Sorry no number to hand…google avo northampton.

found shocks if you want them though:

[ld50]

avo no good?

[re2]

they have to be syncro specific for the rear. H&R make some. KW FK and weitec make coilover kits

avo just had a listing for a full kit for rallye’s. i had a search on german ebay and have found a full kit shocks and springs for 127euro’s which is quite good so iam gona have a spare set of shockers, but good foe spares i suppose. thanks for your help regrds

[ld50]

glad you sorted it – fancy posting a link for the kit you got? and perhaps a couple of pics when you get it? I’m sure you’re not the last person on here who’ll need shocks/springs

[holmes]

may have made a cock up the ebay number i have is 150256082497 after going back and doing a google translation ‘ohne’ in german means without ie without g60, syncro and 1.3. oh bugger luckily was gonna order it tonight. so now still looking []

[re2]

avo are a bit on the cheap and nasty side with regular rebuilds meaning a new hobby/expense

[ld50]

yep – hence “I hesitate to recommend”. I’ve posted before at length my thoughts on avo’s (lack of) build quality but they did seem to have a lot of springs in different diameters and lengths…

[holmes]

hi guys i do apreciate all your help please could any of you lovely chaps take a look at these ebay numbers for me and see if they would be ok to fit my car obviously they will need some coils chopped off. do the front passat 35i springs fit the mk2 golf syncro? regrds
