Suspension

it is worth spending the extra £££ on B14's, I run the same wheels as you and have B14's dropped by 70mm, the ride is superb and it looks awesome,
good choice on the wheels by the way
The B14s are so good it's made me realise how good a decent high priced suspension really is so I have got rid of my BC racing coilovers on my Prelude and got some custom made Meister R GT1.
The b14s have so much wheel control and finesse. No crashy ride like my old vmaxx.

Mine is firmly staying stock height. I have owned such low vehicles in the past that whilst I appreciate how cool they look, actually having a stock height bus that I can drive across a field without bottoming out etc is so nice. I also love that I can sail through flood water etc.
I agree 100%, the lowered vans do look good, but I don't want to loose functionality either.
Have to agree , my mini was lowered and I had to watch the sleeping policemen or I ground out. Been thinking about the van but if I do it will be a 30mm drop.
Had an SD1 6ltr odd Chevy lump, 4barrel carb with an offy inlet, tubular mani, quick shift Chevy box with a B&M slap stick shift and cherry bombs with drag strip rears and bubble arches with a bonnet scoop and slammed to the floor, would light up the rears and my face! Weren't any "sleeping policemen" when I gunned that beauty due to the cherry bombs! Humps and country roads had the armour plated sump producing sparks, and the steering getting light, but boy it was a sight!
Now I'll stay with stock height and get my kicks in other ways!

Stock for me too albeit 20mm lower being an Exec
Your splitty is a very nice and unusual bus, have only seen a couple with a pick-up style rear on them. Big thumbs up on that.
I sold her unfortunately and she now resides in Sweeden!Your splitty is a very nice and unusual bus, have only seen a couple with a pick-up style rear on them. Big thumbs up on that.
Was it a sticker fetish, or a cunning ploy for not having reversing sensors, and hiding all the damage!
Haha! No damage just that paint started peeling as the bumpers had been painted when I brought her and it just started peeling. Decided to sticker bomb to hold the paint on! She was originally a panel van. Although I do have a bad sticker fetish!
This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.
If I have a T32 and I don't plan to carry large loads in it, then do I need the T32 springs or coil overs?
I can't think why I would, all I would need to do would be notify a buyer when I sell it. As I'm thinking the B14 (but T30) set up is the way forward, I'll keep the T32 springs and shocks then put them in with the sale (whenever that might be).
Have I missed some LCV law?
