Morning all I’m looking for some advice- I’m collecting a t6.1 shuttle next week, I’d like to modify it but live on the west coast of Scotland quite remote and probably not the wisest idea to go to low with both suspension and tyres?! I drive a hilux with mud-terrains for work but not keen on...

I can't say tbh. What I do know is that the factory suspension is pants when the van is empty but that might not apply to you if it's a conversion. I lowered mine and widened the stance so it handles better on winding roads. Downside is it's not silky smooth on rougher roads. I'd suggest...

If you van is a Camper / California fir the standard springs back the weight of the conversion will give the lowering , it should level it up. we do a range of spacers to fine tune if needed

Ok, cheers for advice. I’ve already ordered the 235 for fitting on Friday. Was looking to sit down at lower psi which not sure 225 would do? Although I’m pretty clueless on this. I’m convinced my t5 didn’t have tyres hard as concrete like my t6?

Wolfrace 255/45/20. Advice to lower or not pros and cons. All advise greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can lower it slightly by changing shocks and springs and this will be more comfortable than standard at a lower ride height , There are various ways to do it , but i would say avoid coil overs which is what most suppliers want you to buy from them .

Can't help with advice of treating it as is but once you have it sorted there is a thread here of various ways to stop water sitting in that void: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/sliding-door-lower-roller-guide-channel-holding-water.45877/

Hi, I am new here. Just bought a new T6.1 Kombi T32 DSG. I love it but wanted to get 20” wheels instead of the standard 17”. Bought and got fitted today the 20” Cades Hera wheels with tyres and the bouncy ride has got better. But the van looks odd. The gap between the top of the tyre and...

I have seen a van advertised which I am interested in but am new to VW Transporters so wanted to check what to look out for. It is a 2016 LWB T30 Highline Euro 6 on 90K miles, full service history with recent service, cambelt change and water pump. It has also been lowered 40mm with adjustable...

Hi Everyone, I’ve just fitted a Kiravan handbrake lowering kit as per instructions however the new aftermarket trim seems to restrict the movement of the original vw plastic handbrake arm/hand grip and binds up or pulls on the new plastic trim. Also the new trim doesn’t seem to slot I’ve the...

Need to remove the under sill guards and cut them to allow the brackets to sit into the sill. I used a multi tool to cut them out. If you just remove the fixings closer to the sill then you can lower it, just make sure it doesn't pop the inner section by the exhaust.

New to the group, just purchased a T6 -T32 Kombi hi-line 204 dgs , converted by explorer from new . first job on my list is to get it lowered . I have been reading and looking at what people have been putting about things . I am after about a 70 mm drop , and the van is fitted with 20''...

I'm wanting to buy a Shuttle very imminently. I was wondering if I could dive into the hive mind for your insight. My desired unicorn spec is a post-'68 SE 150 manual with rear AC and captain seats as must-haves. LWB and cruise are desirable. However, nothing has cropped up in my search so...

Hi everyone I’m after some advice regarding tyre size best for 20” wheels, my van is a t32 with coil overs lowered about 60mm. When I bought wheel and tyres last year the advice from the company I purchased wheel/tyre package from was to go for 245/45/r20 103 rated,now I’m reading and watching...

Hi all, this is slightly different to the other threads on similar issue cutting out at lower gears/revs. I've got a T6 T28 102 SWB on a 67 plate. The van keeps cutting out at low revs in particular 1st and 2nd and now started doing it in neutral and reverse. Engine cuts out with loss of power...

If you want to remain at factory height (as I did) I'd probably keep the factory springs and in order to reduce body roll in the corners I'd think about H&R Anti Roll Bars coupled with the Koni dampers that you're interested in. Just my opinion, it worked for me. I'd probably speak to a...

Can anyone offer any advice. My van came with koni shocks and eibach adjustable comfort sport springs. 35-40mm I was due to fit my new 19's and then lower the rear on the adjustable spring cups to level the van as its currently much higher on the rear. Problem is the adjuster cup is totally...

Hi Everyone, Hope your all enjoying the BH weekend. Just after some advice….again…. I’ve recently had the van lowered with new standard shocks and some 30mm lowering springs, Eibach I believe. The van is running 17 inch VW Alloys. I do find it’s pretty firm at the moment so until I save for...

Hi all. Please could I get some advice on my broken wing mirror casing. The upper and lower casing on my drivers side have been smashed and fallen off in a collision with an oncoming van with a large wing mirror. What I am left with is shown in the picture. I have ordered replacement upper...
