Hi all, Please excuse the noob questions. I’ve recently bought a lovely T6 LWB kombi. It’s currently lowered on 20in wheels. It’s too low for me and the tyres rub at full lock so I’m planning to put it on 19in rims and raise it to 20mm less than standard to allow access to rough campsites...

Morning all, I need advice please.. I have a 2018 SWB T6 camper conversion with tyre issues It came with Stuttgart 20" rims and 275/40R20 106WXL tyres. The tyres are not best quality to be honest but I have been advised that they are "stepping" i.e. the leading edge of the block is raised and...

Hi. Looking to lower a T5.1 camper using something like Bilstein B14’s. Can anyone recommend a specialist near Warrington? I’m tempted to use Transporter HQ but would be interested in someone a little closer to home who knows that they’re doing with Transporter suspension. Cheers.

I am looking for advice about lowering a T32 LWB with 20 wheels. I like the appearance of the wheels filling the wheel arch space but I am not sure how to go about this. There seem to be lots of different kits online but I don’t seem to be able to find a garage that offers this locally who I...

Hi all, Those of you down around 70mm on 20 inch wheels, would you describe the van looking low, or just right? Having a hard time deciding what I want to go with so any pictures would be great. I know there are lots of choices and ride height is only part of the decision making process, but...

Our new T6.1 has been lowered and I’m thinking I need to get it raised before i crunch it. Question is, by how much? We have quite steep incline onto our drive and it manages that ok, albeit being very careful and all parking sensors warning of doom. I plan to use it on campsites, Devon lanes...

Recently bought a t6 which seems to very high, bought some h&r spring of FB market still inbox not fitted. They were advertised as t6. Fitted them yesterday went to throw box in the bin and realised they were for a t6.1. there is a bit of knocking from the front, is because of the 55mm drop...

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...

I'm looking to lower my t6.1, looking at the eibach Racine 50mm or eibach so low 45mm. I've got new wheels to put on with 275/40/20 tyres, anyone got photos of either springs fitted and should I expect rubbing??

Hi everyone, I am trying to get hold of a suitable strong jack for lifting one corner of my T6 LWB. I tested the VW jack that came with the van but it failed just before the wheels cleared the ground. I need at least a 400mm total lift and don't want to carry in the T6 my heavy trolley jack. I...

Hi guys, For those running a drop of 90mm plus or air and 20’s, what tyres are you running? I’m running 275 35 20’s on the arse 102 load rated, which I am OK with. The van is a t32 but basically is a day van, and is carrying the same weight as an empty t32! On the front I want to go 245 40...

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...

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...

Just purchased a T28 T6.1 panel van and had converted. With some rear seats Happy with van but find the ride height is very high and wondering if the springs that’s come with the van can be adjusted.? If not, can anyone recommend best option to lower and get a more comfortable ride. Budget...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a suspension setup that is under £1K? Currently running a 17 plate T28 full camper conversion on some cheap and nasty suspension that was fitted by the conversion company 4 or 5 years ago. It is approx a 70mm drop I think. I'm looking to possibly raise...

I’m running 18 inch wheels on Koni twin adjust shocks with eibach sport springs. With a ride height, front 375 (centre wheel to top of wheel arch). Rear ride height 395. 20mm difference. Is this a sensible difference as I tow a 6x4 camping trailer and recently had a pop top fitted or should I...
