Lots of body roll…..

[dave_b]

Driving round wales this weekend and I’m really noticing a lot of body roll. T28 fully converted, sagging at the rear etc.

I’ve got some t32 springs coming but I guess a must upgrade has to be H&R ARB’s.

It’s got me thinking, I was going to have 25mm spacers fitted to lift the van, but maybe a better option is the SoLo lift suspension. And H&R ARB’s ? They are adjustable at the rear.

Does the SoLo kit come with stiffer springs than what’s on a standard t28?

sounds like a question/problem for @CRS Performance or @BognorMotors or @The Van Cave
- probably the Chris at the Van Cave given you're based in Cornwall...

Upgraded suspension will always help with body roll, with better control and ride. And you can always take it one step further with one of my favourite upgrades - H&R ARBs- they really upgrade the ride in regards to body roll and steering feel.

The Solow LFT is a great height adjustable Coilover kit - we actually have a demo van running this kit so you can try before you buy. All of our suspension is offered on a while you wait service completed with a full Hunter alignment.

I'd be inclined not to uprate the ARBs in isolation as that increases the tendency to under/oversteer. That's part of the reason the T32 has different dampers.

I'd go to someone, such as BM, get the suspension upgraded as a package rather than cherry pick bits and risk trading one undesirable characteristic for another. Youre deffo thinking along the right lines.

For my own part I don't find roll a concern with my full conversion, but being an old school Class 1 driver I'm very smooth and progressive on all the controls, unlike the point-and-squirt style of driving that seems to have emerged this last 25 years.

How tired is your old suspension?
Swapped ours out when the van was about 4 years old cuz it felt like a boat!
For me start from the bottom and work up .

Do not waste money on A R Bs untill you do the shocks.

Roll bars limit body roll by increasing the effective spring rate in a corner only , It wont make the steering feel lighter !!! but the shocks need to be able to control the additional stiffness of the increased spring rates . Pogo affect is what happens if you fit roll bars with standard shocks .

Your springs are on their way .
