I think it is very likely that your low front end is caused by the wrong shocks being installed for the heavy W8 engine.

Cons: low front end

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

A quick bench test revealed the damping rate of the replacement shocks to feel approximately twice that of the originals, which were way too soft even for daily driving over bad surfaces.

Pros: improved damping rate

Cons: originals were too soft

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
