    Eibach Sport Comfort Coilbound?

    Just had the Eibach Sport Comfort 35-40mm lowering springs fitted to our T6 T28 camper as it had the 'high at the front' syndrome. Big improvement in handling on the drive home, and the van now sits level. It's not noticeably lower at the back, and I didn't want it to be - just wanted it level...

    Lowering springs - Amax Apex or Vogtland?

    I am looking to take my T5 down 30mm, the obvious spring is Eibach, but does anyone have fitted either Amax Apex or Vogtland springs and if so are they worth the budget price, thanks

    Have I gone too low?

    HI, I am an interloper, but I hope you will forgive. I have a 2010 T5.1 Caravelle. When we bought it came on lowered springs (adjustable as I have the spanners) and blinged up 20 inch wheels (not branded so probably a bit on the cheap side. -size of rubbers are 275/40/20). The combination does...

    I have for sale a set of four Koni Special Active shocks, these are for the T28/T30 fitment and they will not fit a T32. They are suitable for vans lowered up to 40mm.

    Hi Folks Being in rural Scotland and owning a 4Motion LWB I am thinking of possibly going up with my suspension. One of reasons being getting it set up properly up here with a low set up, but as i spend a lot of time exploring narrow bumpy roads up here in Northern Scotland ( and snow ) it...

    Suspension Confusion!

    Evening all, I have seen a lot of chat regarding suspension, in particular, the lowering of it and I wanted to ask what is the reason behind this? Is it safety, good looks or fuel economy? Or a combination? My van is definitely heavier (obviously) following the conversion though I feel it...

    [Guide] Fitted my H&R/Koni 50-80mm kit yesterday

    Took me a good few hours on my own in the garage, but not difficult. Things you will need over and above the standard tool kit you already have if you are tempting this yourself. 7 MM Allen key to remove standard suspension top caps. T40 Torx bit for the drop link arm. 3 arm puller as no way...

    Lower before or after converted?

    Hi guys as always a little bit of advice please. I want to lower around 40/50mm although comfort is a priority rather than out and out performance as long term I intend to convert to a camper. As funds and time are short at the minute my dilemma is if I get the optimum set up and appearance...

    New H&R/Koni adjustables from CRS

    I bought my 2018 PV used at a year old privately. The first owner put a Maxx adjustable suspension kit on. Looking at their website, it's a cheap kit, but adjustable front and rear. It was OK, but I felt the front springs were too soft. The rears were great though. I had to adjust the front...

    The Pursuit of Suspension Happiness

    Yep, it's another suspension thread and it's a fairly long winded one, but...... It's time to move on from my B14s. It's important that I choose well this time, mainly because it's fairly expensive, but also because whatever I end up choosing will form part of the catalogue of upgrades I'll be...
