How are the B14's?
I was going to get them installed but was worrying about the stiff ride quality. Are they much different to the stock set up you had?

Very different to stock. No body roll during harder corners, much better on highways.
However with 19's at my ride height - stiff on bad roads, very different to stock, more in car noise. My old car was a track warrior S15 and that was only slightly stiffer! Having said that I would say it would be comparable to BMW sports
Yeah, I mine is a 2L TDI so I didn't want get a real setup, maybe if it was the V6 version I would have.
My other car has stock BMW M Sport suspension and it's not comfortable, I know what you mean.
I'm rolling on CSC5P 235/35R19 and to be honest noticed absolutely no difference to the stock 235/45R17 with noise, normal driving or turning, its just harsh on speed bumps.
That link should help you, each workshop has their own prices. The mechanics should also be able to advise which part will suit your car, I think the sedan and wagon are different springs. The CC is different to the regular Passat too.
I don't want to give you wrong info!

That looks hot XXX. OK, I'll ask. Where from and what are the stats on the rims? Do you have any rub issues. Is it stock height?

A mate of mine bought the rims from the USA for his R36. They are OEM Gallardo Cassiopeia wheels made by Speedline and are 19.8.5. No scrubbing as the ET was the same as the standard rims or there abouts. I have lowered it by 15mm with KW springs as i didnt like the 4x4 look.
