What ones and what was the price,
The T32 ‘new’ dual tube H&Rs.
£1399 + £175 fitting.
It also needs TUV approval so that tasty kit as you put it won’t get in to most places in Europe
I'll let @CRS Performance explain the kit but it is superb. If your budget allows, buy it.
There is this obsession in UK for transporter industry suppliers to continually baffle us with new suspension kits, , often they are going backwards in design and results unfortunately ?? but one of the first things to look out for when choosing a coil over kit is .
" Coil over or a sleeve over" , distinct difference because sleeve over shocks tend to be too long. The way to tell is that the height adjuster on the front is a machined sleeve that slides over a normal shock , ,( hence nick name sleeve over ) A proper coil over is a complete threaded body one piece part , 95 % of kits you will see will be sleeve over types because its cheaper to make , we dont like them so we dont sell them at all , Ours are complete threaded bodies and a lot shorter to help comfort .
The KONI Dampers in our kit is Damping adjustable so we can fine tune the results for you depending on what kind of ride you want and what wheels and tyres you have .
The adjustment is 50 to 80 mm and it is TUV approved
The kit is an H&R product and manufactured in Germany at the factory in Lennestadt .
Carries a 2 year warranty and in 4 years of selling this kit we have had 1 warranty claim ( which was later diagnosed as client abuse ) so ultra reliable .
Picture below shows the difference between sleeve over and coil over . It also hi lights the ARB bracket which is in the wrong place on sleeve overs when fitted to a low van. The red shock will lessen the effectiveness of the A R B s because the link arms need to longer .
Surely the droplink length is barely relevant over the length difference shown when an H&R ARB comes with three alternative mounting positions at each end ie. you could preload this or even a bog standard anti roll bar by fitting longer than standard or length adjustable droplinks or the obvious case of hole choice?
No @JOG... no!
No @JOG... no!
A longer Meyle droplink is less than a tenner a side, no big deal.
Not quite right , The roll bar should be parallel to the ground , the further from parallel it sits. The less effect it has .
the only TUV certificate I have ever seen for. B14 clearly states the kit is only approved if longer Drop links are used , this is because the bracket for the drop link is not in the right place on B14 kits ( all models ) . The adjuster holes ( 2 of them on the front only ) change how stiff the roll bar performs , the only pre tensioning that can be done is across the axle and loads up one side quicker than the other. , this isn’t Clever and cant improve anything unless you drive around a round about all day

Was looking at those... Too cheap?
We used to do Stance, had a few issues with springs, too much drop etc. Thought we would offer a cheaper alternative but without being mean to them, they are at a budget price point so had a few issues, ok if you are fitting yourself and understand that, but for customers they gave too many issues. We are a Solow dealer now along with KW, STX, Bilstein etc and these are all fit and forget if you know what I mean. Solow now have NXT plus available with adjustable damping at rear to allow for different van weights which is a good idea.

Ok with you. What's the most budget friendly next step up, in that case?
I'd say STX, made by KW.
