H&r Deep Coilover Kit Anyone Got Them On Their T6

[JaySal]

Pauly said you wont get much change from £1k and dont think that was the caravelle exc leather inserted ones ,not cheap at all

yikes!

 

[watercooler]

Pauly can you help, is the ambient lighting plug and play for the caravelle door cards or is it a DIY loom fix type thing.

 

[Pauly]

DIY loom, for others that I have supplied door cards too I made up a couple link leads so all the lights were fitted and connected so it was just a red and a black to connect into door wiring to get them working

@Pauly would that run off the window switch feed? I assume it could (providing you only want them on with the headlights)

 

[Pauly]

Yes taps into window button illumination so comes on with button/dash lights

 

[T6180]

can you really purchase illuminated window switches?

 

[Pauly]

They are already illuminated from the factory ?

erm....do I feel stupid now ......maybe I should take a little more notice the next time I drive it.

Hi, just signed up having bought my first vw van ever. T28. Trying to digest all the information re suspension and am also losing sleep! First off. Air v springs? Pros and cons please? Also. What are B14’s? I’m in complete ignorance at the moment. Cheers

welcome, b14s are the model of Bilstein coilovers most people have. Them and H&R ARBs as they transform the ride considerably

Thanks for that, are those banded steels on your van? if so where from please? anyone got any comments on the ride for air suspension, looks like the ABP system is advertised well?

Yeah there banded steels, there up for grabs in a few weeks I'm just waiting on my new ones to be powder coated and tyres fitted. ABP (Air By Plush) have a good reputation. Speak to @andythom188 about air, they've just fitted his setup

@Stevie G I've also got a set of 20 inch 5 spoke Porsche Technos and adaptors to fit for sale....they just need tyres as there balloons for a T6

Your selling your beloved banded 18s??? Oh the scandal

Yeah....I thought I'd better had to make room

At least with coilovers you get less issues and there quieter ...plus Air looks the same as coilovers when driving down the road lol....

It sure does just got the added advantage of raisjng the van high enough to go threw big puddles and not getting the van dirty im like a bloody tart coming onto site not wanting to get the van dirty

Not sure what you're doing with this i.e. removing one compressor and storing more air? where does all the gubbins go? underneath or in the van? I think I can fit myself? it'll probably be the wiring that scuppers me, I could probably cope with the mechanicals!

Cvt tank has a compressir indide do sildnt running and does the work of 2 compressors .
