Good man!

Now I get it; Passat front springs on the S12 rear. What did you do for S12 front springs?

[seishuku]

Modified stock struts with adjustable perches and springs, I have some more detail in my build thread:

Ultimately, the Passat springs only really lift the rear, which was fine for me, love Rally stuff and it helped my camber issues.
Though I suppose with some careful heating of the coils near the perches, you could safely lower them enough to get stock height out of them, but I wouldn't recommend that, unless you were desperate for higher rate springs and got them for free. lol

The custom struts worked pretty well, but those had issues too, needed about a 6mm spacer, otherwise the spring and perch would contact the tire sidewall... Which could probably be resolved with a shorter spring, so the lower perch can be raised.

If its an irs, i think you just notch the spring pirch on the trailing arm, and you can fit a 2.5" coil over spring. That gives you any rate and height you want

Yeah, like I said, unless you got them for free and really needed some springs, I wouldn't use the Passat springs.
I got them for free from a Friend that was going full coilovers on his 03 Passat, I was just looking at them and thought "those look about right". lol
