This is my 05 VW Passat Wagon currently getting a Dice Suspension hydro setup. Thanks Jeremy at TRE5 for the impressive kit and thanks Taylor at Michigan Metal Works for getting it shipped and for the use of the shop.



Everything in the kit fits in the spare tire well after some "gentle" massaging including the 2 Kinetik batteries (not currently pictured below). The pumps and manifolds are mounted on a piece of 1/4 plate that drops in and utilizes the factory spare tire holder / floor support brace to bolt down.

Looks good. You should have the cylinders very soon, I shipped them out a couple days ago.

sorry to bring this off topic but do you still have the accord wagon?

I still cant believe it all fits in the spare tire wall, with just a bit of massaging. Looks great in there.

ya I still have the accord wagon, its on the frame table half dismantled. One day I hope to get back to it and plans are to make it RWD with a yota frame I have sitting in the garage.

Looks good, Jayme. Did you flare that stainless line yourself?

Didn't need to flare they are Swagelock fittings

Looks great. Are you going to hard line from the manifolds to the cylinders or bulkheads in the floor?
