Are the T6.1 shuttle springs the same as the commercial T32?

[TacticalBrick]

My van has been lowered 40mm on Eiback SoLow Springs (still stock suspension) and was put on 275/40/R20 wheels by the previous owner (which by all accounts is the worst possible setup). The ride is awful. Also, I nearly got stuck in a muddy field a few weeks back (which has some relevance to where I'm going with this).

So the main question is, can I just buy any used set of front & rear T6.1 T32 springs (there's some for sale on the forums here for £35) for the Shuttle? I've spoken to a few local garages and they're unsure, but I'm sure I read the Shuttle is basically a T32 with more plastic and carpet.

My plan then would be to assess the ride at stock, then switch to AT tyres on 17" rims, e.g. the Tomahawk Katos with General Grabber AT3s.

Then when funds allow my plan would be to head over to CRS Performance to get it lowered with some proper shocks/coilovers.

You may find the answer here, I think the Shuttle rides slightly lower.

I’m on the lookout for these springs so thought this post would assist with your identification in future.

There are many other posts regarding OEM springs.

Loads of options for springs (including heavy duty versions) to cope with additional weight configurations of the base van and internals (ie. Caravelle / Shuttle).
If you're replacing all four corners there shouldn't really be a problem for what you're wanting...
What I would say though is if you're spending out on all new tyres and wheels just to go low again at a later date and change wheels n tyres again, I'd just go straight to CRS and have them set up your suspension, otherwise you're spending out twice to remove all the springs/shocks and change wheels n tyres.
Or are you planning on the lowered swamper look?

I ditched my 40mm springs to go back stock height and fitted 17" Black Rhinos with Falken Wildpeaks. Love it - suits what I want from the van. Done the low thing with my last van and much prefer the swamper look now.
