I think the side doors and rear quarter panels are where the best gains will be with the Shuttles. They sound quite tinny there. Must catch up and compare Shuttles soon Dave

New hilo gas struts. Definitely not a job to try on your own 
Ooooo shiny
Clever!
Did you buy those ones that were for Sale then? My mechanic put me off. Wish I didn’t listen now grrrr
Started Dodo matting the van. Just doing the rear for the moment. Will do the doors when I upgrade the speakers later in the year.
Hi @BuilderJay no I ended up buying a new set from stance, and so far I’m amazed at transformation of the van, for £399 a bargain I was thinking Bilstein and had a quote from Leighton vans to supply and fit but changed my mind at last minute as was reading more reports from people saying harsh and crashy.
my only other experience of changing suspension was when I had my last van a t5.1 which I had just lowering springs fitted and thought was canny rubbish tbh.
so really happy with these, now I know I haven’t any experience with the more expensive brand coilovers before anyone jumps in at me but can only go off my own experience and these are great
thanks

Spent the morning refurbing and polishing the final wheel. All done now, just need to go and put them on.
Took off a OE green algae looking side repeater:
And fitted a ultra bright LED set of swooshy Transporter HQ side repeaters, bought late '21 and never took out of the box until today:
These:

Looking far better on "Team Bamboo" than the Vw chrome version did:
Simple 10 min per side job, apart from loosing the cable inside the wing, having to be fished out blindly with a piece of bent welding wire!!

These:
VW Transporter T6 - Sequential Side Repeaters - LED - Ultra Bright - Smoke
Our VW sequential side repeaters have options for all models of Transporters, but these are for the T6 and come as a smoked lens.
