Thanks sir! Some people don’t have the same issues I have…..but a whole lot do from what I have seen. I look forward to upgrading them.

Nice car looks good

No offense, you could totally be the father of G-eazy. That being said, thanks for the video. Dad life with the 3.6 Passat and I’m learning what to avoid in my journey, thanks to you. Much appreciated, keep it up man.

Nice the 3.6 sounds awesome

LOL dude...you are awesome! Love how you share the experience, PONG, PING, CLUNK, BANG....LOL IDENTICAL problem here....I own a 2015 CC 3.6L 4-Motion and I went with ST Coilovers, EXACT same thing happened to me with ST, I was getting clunks and pings while pulling out of parking stalls, it was emberrassing. ST sent me 6 different pairs of shoks and struts lol BUT, I had all the work done at a shop...and Yes, the shop charged me an arm and a leg everytime I brought back my VW with poping clunking noises. The mechanics at the shop finally told...."JUST ENJOY THE RIDE, IT'S A VOLKSWAGEN".....and that stuck with me, so I just enjoy the car now and crank up the music hahaha I love the ride of the ST coilovers though and have had them now for about 4 years, I get the occassional pop and ping, but over the years it has improved a lot, the noise I mean lol And Solo werks aint bad a tll, there are A LOT worse brans out there...... Did the poping sounds go away now for you?

No man if anything it’s got worse!! Also the fronts bottom out pretty easy, or the sway bar is hitting I’m not sure. Just today I was annoyed by pops from the front when hitting the brakes and parking at the grocery store. Car drives decent but is more bouncy than I’d like. It’s really not that big a deal I guess. I usually do exactly like you say - MUSIC LOUD - can’t hear the suspension noises 😂😂😂. I’ll probably let it go until after tax season then consider replacing.

Sounds like your subframe is twisted if you’re hearing pops and clunks

Thanks for posting. Think I might get springs instead. My car won't see tracks for another year and right now I just want the gaps gone.

Alot of people do not know this, not saying you don't but when lowering a car all control arms have to be loosened and adjusted to new height so bushings do not get destoyed.

Id investigate Sway bar bushings and Lower control arm bushings.

Glad you made this video. I have a 19 mk7 Jetta and seen that the solo werks coilovers is pretty cheap and was considering on making the purchase. Now I seen your take on it maybe I’ll hold off on it? I was also thinking of just purchasing lowering springs instead.

Hard to say for your exact situation man. I’m happy enough with them. It’s really only the bit of noises in the front end that bother me. Based on my experience I would buy them for my kids car or a cheap project car without concern but the next car I buy (actual sports car) will get something better.

Did you get some springs? Which set and how are they?

Should've went for the 2018 Passat GT VR6 it comes already with a sport suspension from factory and that wonderful VR6 music. Plus try Neuspeed for some parts.

Yeah the GTs are nice. I was on a budget and not looking for a car to mod when I bought this thing. I would actually prefer any Passat with a DSG trans for ability to hold power. Ah well. Next car will be better for modding.

I just ordered F2 type 1 coil overs for my 17' Passat. $800. I hope they are good

I’m not familiar with those ones but good luck! I’m not over here hating my 600 dollar coilovers…..but I do keep my stereo loud and that way I don’t hear any of the noises in the front end 🤣🤣🤣

Would love that. I’m still kind of trying to decide between dumping more money in this car, or saving that money towards small coupe of some sort. Def not cutting corners on the next ‘project’

Do they go very low?

Not much lower than the pic at the end of this vid. Won’t totally slam the car like some other sets.

Buying solowerks was the worst purchase I have ever done.
