Hi Lee,
This is what I know, but some specialist advice from someone like Steve @CRS Performance is your definitive way forward.
If you want COMFORT over the looks of being ‘low’, then as far as I know you can’t get much better than lowering springs and good quality shocks. On the other hand...
I too have had the CRS Performance treatment.
When I got my van brand new 4 years ago I had VW lower it using their 30mm lowering kit. It was ok.
Sadly I kept losing the plastic fuel tank covers from the underside of my van (Really rubbish quality VW)
Ok. I was probably going too fast through...
Hi I have a brand new T32 Kombi 4M 204 SWB and I'm looking at lowering keeping factory 17 Devonports with springs only.
Has anyone done this and can comment on ride quality? I don't carry much unless we go away camping.....I'm thinking lowering 40mm max.
Any other advice appreciated.
Cheers...
Your van is a Camper so fitting those springs will be a disaster , if they are rated at 35 mm my prediction will be front 45 and rear 75 This cant work well and the ride will be horrible . Call a specialist ( ME ha ha ) and we can explain the problem in depth
You need a...
Like me you're very lucky to be within sniffing distance of Steve @CRS Performance who will advise you on your best course of action.
Many of us on here have travelled huge distances to be advised and kitted out by Steve. Drop him a PM, the man is a legend. He's not a pushy seller, his advice...
I've just bought an ex rac t6.
I've been told the rac t32s have uprated Suspension. Not sure if that's springs and dampers.
The ride is awful. Very boaty and the steering seems really light.
It's going to be a work van but won't be carrying no more than 100kgs at time.
I'd like it a bit lower...
Has anyone on here got this kit from travelinlite- transporters
Is this everything needed for a suspension upgrade/lowering
Looking for advice on this pack as I will have to get a local fitter/garage to install...
Hello, after some advice.
I currently have OEM shocks and 40mm lowered H&R springs as fitted by previous owner. I find the ride too harsh so am looking for something much more comfortable.
The van is partially converted as a camper and we will be completing the conversion so it will be...
Evening all
So I'm looking for some advice, just had my T6 lowered and while in the garage I asked them to remove the towbar which is a fixed towbar, as I want to do a rear bumper upgrade and have no use for the towbar.
However they phoned to say couldn't remove it till I got a new rear...
Hi, Transporter 102 5spd manual 2015 on 20” alloys with 40mm lowered springs. Vibration comes up through the floor of the cabin and can be felt on steering wheel and pedals at roughly 2000rpm mostly in upper gears 3-5. Ok, this defect has probably been evident since I bought the van late last...
Hi Folks,
Am new to T6's and not so much mechanically minded but have been wanting to purchase a van for a conversion to a bit of an expedition vehicle down the line a bit. So I guess Im going to have to learn...
I have found a 2020 T6 4 motion but it had its suspension lowered. The garage...
Glad to hear we could improve the set up you had on the van ,! It is however More solid proof that "ONE KIT FITS ALL" will only satisfy a lucky few . If these vans were all the same weight this concept could work , as we all know they vary massively. Advice to new comers...
Hope someone can help. I've pretty much finished all the lining of the van now, but i am having trouble with the passenger side barn door lower panel. I have the original hard board panel so i have used that as a template, but when i go to reinstall the panel and put the cover back on the inner...
Many thanks Oli @BognorMotors. Simon gave me a bell and I think he's solved the puzzle (the colour-way was the key):
For anyone interested, my shocks are TransporterHQ/SoLow shocks - basically a modified Bilstein B8 strut (-20mm lowered) which offers superior damping with a lowering spring over...
Hello everybody,
I'm new to the forum having joined looking for advice on fitting the b pillar heating duct.
Im having trouble tring to work out what lower panel I require for a 2014 5.1 panel van. I called TPS today but they will only tell me what's listed against my reg number but they did...
Hi @Gstar
I too run 275/40 19” tyres. Mine are 105Y XL Falken Azenis FK510 on 19x9” wheels.
My LWB Kombi is mostly run virtually empty.
I’ve been slowly lowering pressures and am currently @ 46PSI all round.
The tyres have done around 12k miles and still have over 5m left, evenly worn...
