Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    A higher quality strut (or even new OEM struts considering your car is now approx 7 years old) will help. If you go aftermarket you cant really go past Bilstein. Sparesbox have a good range of Bilstein (and other) struts, worth a look.

    Note stock struts are Sachs brand and you will also see these on the Sparesbox site. Meyle are another OEM brand. KYB are aftermarket and Japanese - also good.

        Ah ok - I went searching for a 2014 model based off the info in your signature. Either way, im sure you will find some options for your 2017 model.

            I would expect that most aftermarket suspension would be firmer than stock. We have a 2018 Passat with R Line suspension (so lowered and maybe a bit firmer although I am not sure about the firmness) and we don't find it uncomfortable. Depends what changes you are hoping to make and what your definition of comfortable is. Tyres and also tyre pressures can also have a bearing on what we perceive as comfortable
