Squad Workshop Bilstein B8 Upgrade for Passat B8 – Suspension Specialist in Singapore
At Squad Workshop, we carried out a Bilstein B8 suspension upgrade for a Passat B8, solving worn suspension issues and restoring performance. As a highly rated car workshop in Singapore, our specialists ensure every installation is done right the first time.
🔧 Symptoms of Worn Suspension
When suspension wears out, drivers usually notice:
- Excessive bouncing over bumps
- Clunking or knocking noises from struts
- Uneven ride height or sagging on one side
- Poor cornering stability
- Longer braking distance
- Increased tyre wear
These problems show that shocks and struts no longer control rebound and compression. Lowering springs that don’t match the stock dampers make the situation worse.
✅ The Solution: Bilstein B8 Performance Upgrade
The owner chose a Bilstein B8 setup — a major upgrade from stock and the best match for lowered vehicles.
Benefits of Bilstein B8:
- Works perfectly with lowering springs
- Delivers tighter, more controlled handling
- Improves ride comfort by reducing bounce
- Provides long-term durability with Bilstein’s monotube gas pressure technology
- Reduces brake dive and rear squat under acceleration
🛠️ Why Proper Installation Matters at Squad Workshop
At Squad Workshop, we take suspension installation seriously. For this Passat B8, our technicians avoided impact tools when assembling the front struts, especially on the top nut.
Why?
Using torque guns on Bilstein B8 struts can:
- Damage internal valving
- Strip or warp piston rod threads
- Cause premature failure of new components
Many inexperienced installers overlook this step, not out of neglect but because they don’t fully understand how performance dampers work. Since Bilstein B8 struts use precise engineering, correct handling is critical.
🧑🔧 Squad: Skill Backed by Know-How

🏁 Ready for the Road
With the Bilstein B8s installed properly, the Passat B8 now drives as it should: composed, planted, and smooth.
