CRS Performance is top notch.
Gutted though, I have a set of Koni Active shocks to sell. Used for 3k miles !
But also a set of H&R ARB’s 30mm front and rear.
Rear fits a 6, but the front will only fit a 6.1
Why are you selling the ARB's and suspension?
Got 4M on order
A brief review from me.
CRS swapped out my Bilstein B14 set up for their H&R 'equivalent' set. Van is a 2017 T32 SWB.
The work was completed very quickly and efficiently - I think I was in and out in no more than 2 hours.
Broad comparison between the Bilsteins and H&R:
Primary ride (how the big bumps are handled) is much much improved, this was obvious just rolling out of the industrial estate. For me this is a big step up in overall comfort.
Secondary ride (how the small stuff is handled) is probably about the same and is more about the overall 'stiffness' of the set up - it is a stiffer 'sportier' set up after all.
Worthwhile? For me, yes. The improvement in the primary ride is significant.

After reading many posts on the forum I contacted Steve @CRS Performance and had a chat about my suspension set up, which comprised Eibach ‘comfort’ lowering springs with standard VW shocks (T28, dayvan/camper conversion) & H & R ARB’s. After measuring the drop which was found to be around 50mm Steve recommended the Sport adjustable shocks to pair up with the existing set-up. So, a couple of weeks ago I went down to Cannock to have the work done - new shocks and small adjustment to the rear springs to compensate for the additional weight of the fit-out since the springs were fitted. Since then, apart from the drive back up the M6, I’ve driven the van a few times on local roads and yesterday into Manchester on the M62. So, although the van drove loads better than standard with the Eibachs & ARB’s fitted and the drive was ‘acceptable’ it is now so much better. The harshness on bad roads has gone, traversing speed bumps is smoother, rattles in the van have mostly ceased and road noise seems to have decreased. The brake assist on hills is also working properly again! I can genuinely say that the overall ride comfort has improved significantly and would recommend if you’re considering making changes to the suspension that a chat with Steve would be a good place to start.
Just a quick word to say thank you to Steve @CRS Performance .caught him a bit unawares on Wednesday thinking he had a quiet day doing paperwork so was on his own in the workshop .unfazed he set about stripping the suspension on my camper conversion to fit koni shocks and springs to level out my saggy butt!! To be honest I was quiet shocked at how different the van was to drive on the test run and journey home,it was so different going round corners flat and not rolling to the side !The steering now felt right as the front end was now pointing down instead of up and to top it all off it now looks good with the 40_50mm drop it's now a pleasure to drive .So if you are thinking about sorting your suspension give Steve a ring he has years of knowledge working closely with koni and is a real nice chap to spend a few hours chatting with and drinking tea as he transforms your pride and joy .
You may want to tag @CRS Performance in your post, as you may have a host of Steve’s coming back to you.......
‘Dan!, Dan!, Dan!............Dan! Dan!’ (If you know, you know)
I probably don't need to tell you what a gift it is to be called Dan. Friends and family seem to love it too.......
With thanks to Steve (@CRS Performance ) who now supplies my convertor, my Koni Activ's went on today. Standard springs on my T32 LWB 150.
Thanks to @CRS Performance for job done yesterday.
Total transformation of van. It feels more comfortable and with body roll gone there is more confidence in corners.
Van height looks better now too

Thanks to Steve @CRS Performance and the guys , on Saturday, for the H+R coilovers and the Koni shocks. A 350 mile round trip but seriously worth it. A 60mm drop and the ride transformed, especially carrying more speed through the twisty bits.But what really earned Steve his JOB WELL DONE sticker was Mrs sawdust saying she could feel the difference from the passenger seat, when on our way out Saturday evening.
Full marks fella.
Hey Steve - my missus enjoys a comfortable ride too! Can she have a few quid?!!
I just want to thank Steve Hurley and his guys of CRS Performance. What a nice and friendly guy. Had my T32 4 motion DSG, B14’s removed today ( they are horrid) and replaced with quality H&R adjustable coil overs, along with front and rear H&R Anti roll bars and bushes. WOW. The van drives like new, no roll and Sooooooo comfortable. Start to finish including setup and lots of chats and help, 3 hrs.
Really helpful kind guy, well recommended and sets a new precedent on quality and workmanship!

About a month ago I went to CRS Performance for Koni shocks, I totally agree, great service by professionals, van drives great now, couldn't ask for more.
Sign me up for the CRS fan club
I had STX coilovers and H&R anti roll bars fitted on Wednesday, over the moon with the results.
the CRS guys are extremely professional, know their stuff, very friendly, and it really doesn't take long at all so if you do live a bit out of the way you could easily swing by for a few hours and grab some lunch whilst your van gets transformed!
The price is extremely reasonable too, I priced up B14s and H&R anti roll bars to be supplied and installed somewhere more local to me (another well known transporter place) and CRS was a lot cheaper installing what I believe is a much better product.
