ST Suspensions vehicle lifting pads for Volkswagen Passat Combi (365, 3C5), +20 mm

ST Suspensions spring spacers for the Volkswagen Passat Combi (365, 3C5) increase ground clearance by 20mm. This solution makes it easier to navigate obstacles such as high kerbs or uneven surfaces on unpaved roads. It also helps level out the chassis if the rear of the car sits permanently lower, preventing rear axle sag when fully loaded or towing a trailer. These spacers are designed for installation on both the front and rear axles.

Design and installation

The spacers are made from polyamide composite or aluminium alloy. These materials feature high strength and resistance to loads and environmental factors, ensuring reliable performance. Installation is carried out by inserting the spacer directly under the spring at its upper or lower seat. This method does not alter the driving dynamics or suspension characteristics; it simply shifts the baseline position of the body relative to the axle. Thanks to European TÜV certification, their use is fully approved for road traffic.

Practical benefits of increased ground clearance

Increasing ground clearance by 20mm improves the car's off-road capability in more demanding conditions. You will appreciate it when driving on country lanes, parking next to high kerbs, or driving over speed bumps. The spacers also solve the issue of rear-end sag when carrying heavy loads in the boot or towing a trailer. Leveling the height of both axles also visually improves the overall appearance of the vehicle.
