I wasn't picking at your Van. I had the same issue and didn’t realise either at time of purchase. Mines now sorted and the difference is night and day. These things don’t get discovered until you ‘join the club’. Hey ho

Can I ask how you sorted yours as I mentioned it to the dealership selling it and they said it's the standard suspension and it more than capable of dealing with the conversation weight. Did you just change your rear springs

Looks fab and welcome - i quite like that tone of red

‘Dealing with the weight’ and also providing comfortable, compliant ride are two very different things. I took mine to The Van Cave (Chris) and had Koni short sport shocks and Evo tech springs.( Front struts and rear ) I can confirm this set up is superb. It also lowers the Van 60mm, which imo is a good compromise for looks and performance. CRS are another company that are highly recommended on here. They will advise something to suit your requirements / budget. I hope this helps.

Cheers for the information, I will look into this in the coming months

I found my Van was not ‘planted’ especially at the front, because it was high compared to the rear. and was quite ‘crashy’ at the rear. Even cats eyes were loud, now they are just a slight thud (like a car).
Take your time as there’s a lot of info on this forum . You may find a member near to you, who can take you out in their Van. It’s always helpful to experiance what others have done.
