the general answer on cgti is 'use spacers behind stub axles' :undecided:

I still reckon one of the Mk3 beams could do the trick and it's got to be a better way of doing things. All the beams are similar except the plates the stub axle bolt's into - which are closer or further from the tube depending on which model and later beams uses a different bush arrangement which is why you might need the plates that bolt into the chassis for them. If you have a local VW scrappy it shouldn't take long to figure out which beam will do the trick. If you do go that route make sure you get a beam with a built in anti-roll bar.

^^^^ yeah get one with a rear ARB, and when you are feeling rich, get a rear ARB to suit the donor car, and a front one to suit the passat, then you can tune the handling balance.
H&R or Neuspeed make them
