40mm lowered

[Steve Willo]

Hi all,

Had 40mm H&R springs fitted and went for 19” wheels.
Driven for a few hundred mile to settle but still think it’s sitting too high (especially at the rear), any advice or pics of yours with similar set up please..

You should measure the rake difference from the front to back, there is meant to be a small amount... not sure on exact figures but i could measure mine and let you know....

This is my T32 lowered 40mm with H&R's and Koni's, 19" Cantera's - Full camper conversion

 

[Steve Willo]

Thanks, Canteras look good
It looks like yours sits a bit higher at the rear also even with the additional weight of the conversion..

Is yours a t32? It looks spot on

 

[BognorMotors]

That doesn’t look right. But TBF the ground and picture are uneven. Be good to see a full on side picture on level ground

[Steve Willo]

are you running 19’s and is there a full conversion in the back?

Its a T28. I've added another pic on level ground:-



IMO looks much better in French alps than a German shipyard!!

@BognorMotors the photo was taken Vallée de la Clarée (Haute-Alpes, France). A stunning dead end valley if you like the mountains.

Mine's similar but I don't have anything in the back. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/con...he-last-tsi-my-build-thread.22743/post-323085 I expect it to drop more at the back as I load it up with seats and furniture

 

[Wills]

Are they “soft (1) or hard (2)” rated springs on the back? Depending what you have in the rear, it may sit higher on the (2) rated.
What part numbers/markings due the springs have?

 

[Steve Willo]

Thanks wills, part no. Is 29270-4 can’t see any other 1’s or 2’s..

 

[Wills]

The -4 kit is the heavy rated springs front and rear. Rated front - over 1501Kg and rear over 1561Kg. Do you have a full conversation?
Steve may recommend spacers to help level it up for you.

 

[Steve Willo]

Cheers wills, no nothing in the back yet, going for a Caravelle conversion when I can find a reasonably priced set up!

 

[Wills]

Sorry, I read your thread incorrectly. The soft rear may have been the way to go, which is kit B. The rear spring is 29270—2HA (R) See below listing.

Great thanks, I have just gone with the recommended springs for T30 axle weight.
I will see what the @CRS Performance guys advise and then make a decision
