not many people selling them , I think this is because they don’t have a proper importer who promotes them , at the price point they will be Chinese or round there , but I would say better than Jom Vmaxx and the like. ,

Thanks for the feedback. Just curious as to how the drive will be but maybe they are better avoided if noone has had any real world experience with them.

I have fitted a set to a van i was selling and i wanted something cheap and cheerful .

They do a job but nothing spectacular unfortunately , the longevity which is the big concern with cheap kits we couldnt test as the van is sold immediately .

Stretch the budget to a KW Private label STX kit you will never look back at the £1100.00 mark much better performance than B14 at £300.00 more ?

Ok thanks for the feedback, I believe you know a thing or two about these matters . The STX kit is something I have been considering for a while, seems to get alot of good feedback.

The STX is great value for money and streets better than B14

Its a proper coil over not a sleeve over >
the ARB mounting is lower to maximise the ARB function
The struts are 60 mm shorter . shorter struts make more comfort as the stoke is more useable .
The springs are better designed
The springs can carry camper weight
The front springs are small diameter so they wont puncture the tyre in a failure like the B14 could
The rear adjusters fasten in to the chassis so no noise clonking etc

Just a properly engineered kit by professional suspension manufactures , no brainer

feel free to call if you want more help

Very thorough! Dont think I would have much more to ask other than I assume it is rated fine for a SWB T30 Caravelle?
