Hi
Really love your wheels , could I ask how much they were . Regards Cossy
Looking good may i ask your wet up suspension and tyres etc
Hi @Neil harvey, I take you mean my “set-up”.
I have 255/45/18 103Y Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, wrapped around T5 18” Sportline rims. With the van sitting on Bilstein B14 suspension, dropped by around 60-65mm.
Thanks how does it ride? I’m getting a t32 in sept and wanna drop it on b14’s and toying with some sportline wheels too
What's it been lowered to and what set up
It rides superb. Really comfortable, reasonably tight in the corners. I haven’t been in a van running H&R anti-roll bars, which is the other “handling” modification that you can make, but others that have that particular upgrade (@StudleyGlass @Tourershine) have reported it being very nice. However they had both ARB and B14 upgrade completed at the same time. I haven’t read of anyone who has done the B14’s, driven it a while, then gone and had the ARB’s done, and then compare the difference to just the B14’s. I may get round to doing it at some point, but there is the very minor issue of being fund-less.
I ran the b14s for a while....then added the anti roll bars....there's a huge difference in handling
The b14s made the ride comfortable as in less crashing/bouncing especially at the rear.....the ARBs are really noticeable in the corners ...less body roll and more planted. I have had them set on the stiffest setting.
DaveyB how did you find the van handled after having the pop-top fitted? Much different?
Didn’t feel any difference in all honesty, just as tight in bends, no noticeable washout/ twist on body
Bottom image is 19" Savini's on 30mm drop
Top is again 19" Banded steels B14 on lowest setting.
I personally think 19" is the best compromise between too small, and too big, but they are not an easy tyre to get in a load rating compared to 18, and 20" wheels.
