Sportline Eibach -30mm springs:
Sportline -30mm lowering springs
Hi all, I have a T30 150ps DSG and going to lower 30mm on the Eibach springs all refer to. There is alot of talk of Caravelle and 4Motion lowering and part no. ZGB 7H0 071677A, but could anyone tell me if this is the number suitable for mine please? Also is there a heavy or a soft version...
Koni:
New H&R/Koni adjustables from CRS
I bought my 2018 PV used at a year old privately. The first owner put a Maxx adjustable suspension kit on. Looking at their website, it's a cheap kit, but adjustable front and rear. It was OK, but I felt the front springs were too soft. The rears were great though. I had to adjust the front...
B14 thread:
Operation B14 has commenced
Van safely dropped off with Andy aka @roscoetraildog at TransporterHQ near Lutterworth in Leicestershire to have a set of Bilstein B14's fitted. Now the agonising wait to see it roll out the workshop on it's new haunches, and the hour drive back home to make sure i have made the right decision...

The Pursuit of Suspension Happiness
Yep, it's another suspension thread and it's a fairly long winded one, but...... It's time to move on from my B14s. It's important that I choose well this time, mainly because it's fairly expensive, but also because whatever I end up choosing will form part of the catalogue of upgrades I'll be...
and
Who’s got what suspension
You may have something that isn’t listed so let me know and I will add it to the list
Suspension is so subjective. A T30 on 17” ‘Ports with little inside it compared to a T30 on 20” low-profiles carrying a full camper conversion will leave you wondering if the suspension components are different when they could in fact be the same.
What you have, what you want and what you’re willing to spend is what it’ll come down to.
Enjoy reading!
Eeek I’ll put aside some time and strong coffee and go through that lot! I found a few threads before about full kits - kw b14 and Koni and I know which way I’d go given the money, currently on standard startline van suspension and not wanting a big drop due to LWB and being a family van for adventures but I can’t for the life of me find a thread before that actual gives feedback on the 677 springs with replacement upgraded shocks.
Thank you for taking the time to dig and link relevant content and I will dig in to each! Enjoy the weekend

Upgrading the shocks with the sportline springs will make a positive difference to the ride quality, no doubt, but there may be better options within your budget that give a similar amount of lowering.
Drop us a PM or email us Chris@thevancave.co.uk and I’ll go through some options with you (after I ask loads of questions about how you want to use the van, the spec of the van etc etc to make sure I get the recommendation right).
I have a couple of options for shock upgrades and several options for full coil over kits so there’s definitely something there that would suit you.
Thanks Chris I’ve dropped you an email
