Can anyone recommend good indie for van lowering on Merseyside ... I had arranged with someone in Warrington but hasn't got back to me with cost. Just need 50mm lowering springs done.

Thanks

No Garages worth considering in the North East/York/Leeds area?

What about van style just outside Newark

@CRS Performance do you carry out hub mods?

@CRS Performance do you carry out hub mods?

Hi there , is the vehicle a T 32 ??

I am not a fan of the hub mods but there is no doubt we could do it . What do you currently have in the vehicle suspension set up wise

 

[MatT6]

T28. -40mm springs but the front is too high (due to camper conversion). Happy with comfort etc, just looking for a (cheap) way to get the front sitting more level, without going coilovers/custom setup.

OK .Its probable that the front is 40 mm lower and the rear has gone 60 or 70 due to the camper con weight . Normally in this scenario we would try lifting the rear to 40 mm with spring spacers of different springs , Do you know what springs are fitted . Some manufacturers offer different weight rates for this problem

The Hub mod would be a solution there is no doubt but we can only safely slide the shock another 20 mm through the hub because it will hit the drive shaft if we go much more , Also the brake pipe, ABS cable brackets will need to be cut off , this is spot welded to the shock so its quite a job and there are always risks of shock damage .
Have you got the part number fore the springs you fitted ,

I’m looking to lower my 2023 T28 6.1 Highline. Currently it’s on factory 16’s which it may be on for a while!
Weight wise, in the rear will eventually be a 130cm Rib Bed and a slimline kitchen.
Obviously I’d want a degree of adjustability so both front and rear sit at the same height. Coilovers?
Any recommendations?

Also I would be looking for fitting in the North West (Manchester area), again, any recommendations?

Thanks all.

Not Manchester but just past Stoke.. @CRS Performance is your man. He’s done 100s if not 1000s of vans from here. He will guide you on what’s best for your needs

Another vote for Steve @CRS Performance in Cannock

H&R coil overs (with Steve’s own design H&R springs) + F&R H&R ARB’s transform a heavy van

 

[T6 Syd]

Another vote for Steve at CRS, although check with Dav-Tec as i think I saw that they are now agents or similar for CRS and may be closer.

 

[Gary_M]

Thanks all, I’ll make contact and ask about options

 

[Troy40]

Hi can anyone recommend a company in Chester or Cheshire to install a set of lowering springs thanks

 

[Greenmachine]

I would suggest you expand your horizons slightly, and contact @CRS Performance

Does anyone know of a decent firm for lowering and sorting out suspension on a 2023 transporter, looking for the wheels and tyres also, based in merseyside but not afraid to travel as long as its the right people !!

Many Thanks

CRS Performance are based in Cannock WS11 0ET, so not too far. They are highly recommended by all that visit. They put coil overs and anti roll bars on mine, dropping it by 60mm and improving the handling and ride so would give them a call.

 

[Trakker1]

Thanks for reply, yes emailed these a few times, to be fair they did answer back on the first email but on the others I've heard nothing, that would be my preferred route but they must be busy ?? what is the ride like with that set up, thanks again
