    T6 suspension

    Are you going to be converting it to a camper? The T32s very harsh and crashy as an empty van, but when you get permanent weight in the back that might change. It might be worth speaking to CRS for some advice and options, even if you don't want to lower it Steve could give you some...

    Going to smaller wheels MPG worth it?

    Isnt the main consideration here the overall diameter of the wheel tyre combo?. If bigger than stock then will be higher geared and therefore potentially using lower revs for same speed (although not always true that lower revs = lower MPG as this depends on all that torque curve voodoo stuff)...
