Review: CRS Performance UK

Jeez, you could use the level of that van to hang a shelf!

To be fair it took me from 10am to 10pm on my own in the garage. The rear is a total PITA!
If I ever did it again, I’d do the 6hr round trip to Steve. Lol

The two Steve’s at CRs had my Cali’s rear up and down like a bridesmaid’s dress to get it right!!!

Another happy customer. Thanks for today @CRS Performance !

The toll was £7 for me post lowering too! ha

 

[RGB]

another +1 for @CRS Performance
Steve got my crashy T5.1 Kombi sorted!
Total professionals at suspension and knowledge is second to none! Well worth my 650 round trip!

Big shout out to Steve at CRS. I bought a 2018 DSG T32 Kombi a couple of months ago, riding factory shocks and springs on 18” Sportline alloys. The van doesn’t carry any weight other than a 40 Winks bed, love it ..BUT… the ride was choppy, lurching forward and backwards, rolling in bends with occasional wheel spin pulling off, my wife.., in the front feeling sick on most journeys.
I read suspension, wheel size reviews on the forum here and took the dive in ringing Steve @CRS, he really listened to my very naive thoughts and questions, made suggestions with reassurance that he could sort it, I booked in, I decided not to go too low, 40 mm (springs) reduction and change the shocks, for the time being running on 18” Sportlines.
I had them both fitted this morning, Koni Special Active with Evo Technik springs. Steve took time to explain what he was fitting, talking us through the shock technicals, benefits, a gent with a lot of suspension knowledge and experience, wheels and tyres included. It only took just over an hour, thankfully only spent that in the nearby Shopping Village !
WOW! What a difference, the van feels level, planted, it doesnt lurch forwards or backwards during acceleration and braking, and it rolls mush less. The shocks really even-out small undulations, ripples in the road surface and take the punch out of pot holes. It’s much, much more controlled, and a lot quieter, very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Thank you Steve, spot on, best benefit for the money spent, oooo and a happy wife.
Merry Christmas all.

HI Huw 169,
I have a T32 Kombi 199 4 motion , and I'm just wondering what size wheels and tires you are running please if you would be so kind.
Do you carry any weight in the back or just the seats ?
Your set up is just what I'm looking for. its spot on.
thanks
B

Another big thanks to CRS.Before and after they weived their magic!If any one is interested in the old wheels and tyres i'm going to put them in the for sale section tommorow.

Another +1 for great service at @CRS Performance

Fitted me in at short notice plus gave me honest and helpful advice to make the correct choice of suspension for my van usage requirements.

There's a nearby retail park with some decent stores and eateries to help pass your time while you wait for the magic to happen. Unfortunately my wife was with me so my bill for the day was significantly higher than expected!

Surely you mean your wife was with you so your apparent CRS bill was approximately half price of the true cost

We have heard little evidence of what his wife thought of the work on the journey home! (Though she may have been ruminating about the damage she would inflict on the credit card!!!)

The wife did notice the van was "less bouncy" on the drive home but she now has less of a struggle getting in and out with the reduction in height and that she says was worth the money alone.
