• I always carry a lot of weight in the back of my Jetta and have wanted to beef up the rear suspension for a while now.  The rear end usually sags low and I sometimes hit the trailer hitch off the ground when I go down a sharp incline.  I have read over at vortex about using passat rear coils.  Could not get a good read on what year or type of passat to use coils from though.  Any suggestions?

• B3/B4 coils should work.  I'm not sure if the wagon ones are the same as the sedan ones though.

• Went to the wrecker's today and picked some coils from a '93 Passat Sedan (B3)...will report back once I have them in.  The B3 wagon coils looked the same.

• I put the coils in a while back but never got around to showing my results!  I hindsight I might have cut one or two coils off, but overall I'm pretty happy with it.
