Local garage fitted some new ones and all was good. Three momths later, clunking returned. Local garge took a look and noted that the...

    SoLow Suspension

    I know Solow's aren't new by any means, and several members are already running these bad boys, but as a die hard B14 fan, I wanted to give my take on this set-up. As some of you already know, i'm pretty chummy with the Transporter HQ team. They regularly ask if they can borrow my van for T32...

    Alignment issues and Errors

    I've recently changed my shocks, drop links and steering tie rods. I did the front first and the steering wheel alignment was out. Strange I thought. I couldn't understand how it happened so I spoke to a mechanic friend who didn't get it either. He suggested re-aligning the steering wheel which...

    Drop Links. When And Why To Use Longer.

    Hi Has anybody changed there drop links for longer ones when fitting coilovers or air ? My coilovers are adjusted as low as possible but still need another 10mm or so to level it out with the rear. I didn’t know if changing these would have an affect on ride height.

    Lowering The Front Suspension - Surely I Need Longer Arb Drop Links ?

    Mates Just installed an H & R ARB set. My van is running lowered VMaxx adjustable coilovers. Bought a set of shorter drop links to avoid any binding and keep the ARB attitude stock at the lowered level. It made sense at the point of purchase, I assumed the ARB was higher up and had links down...
