I'm moving to Australia so I'll probably get another one out there as the practicality of the van is perfect for me. The best vehicle I've owned.Sell it for another van, or leaving the Transporter scene?
It looks stunning by the way. We get the towing question asked a lot. As your's shows, lowering can really help towing as it brings the van down, to keep the tow hitch in a nice straight line with the caravan.
Its actually more, 33mm smaller though the effect on height of the van and the tyre to arch distance is just half that so 16.5mm
I was looking at the back wheels!
Still love this. Looks
I'm a big fan of them, they really compliment low coilovers. I'll always fit them on my own vehicle. You'll notice a big difference, they really improve body roll and sway which is really noticeable on such a big slab sided vehicle.
@JB_T5.1 I had Solow low (original) coilovers and H&R ARB's fitted to my T32. I appreciate that having both fitted at the same time, as I did, will mask individual changes but the reduction in body roll was significant.
Thanks what was your reason for changing to the BMVS?
Too low for the places that I drive such as muddy fields and forest tracks.
Solows will work, air will give you more options in terms of controllable height adjustment if your budget allows.
Air suspension is the ultimate solution for your needs if your budget can stretch to it. It's perfect for towing, will easily get you under 2.1m barriers, ride comfortably and look the absolute dogs when you park up and air out. If you go for a height based management system it will even automatically compensate for the extra weight of whatever you're towing or whatever you have loaded in for camping by automatically increasing/decreasing pressure to the bags to make sure your chosen ride height stays exactly as it should be. SoLow management even has the added convenience of self levelling for camping, so uneven pitches needn't be a problem for you.
Just want to throw my few cents in here. I'm on SoLow Low so down 105mm and love the ride quality and how it looks. I too have a T28, albeit a T5.1. Mine too is a fully loaded camper but I found the rear Solow springs a little too soft and didn't like having to have the adjusters at full height just to get the back level with the front which is nearly at full height. My solution was to use a pair of Eibach Comfort Lows -60mm springs with just using the collar and no rings (adjuster delete in a way). As it is now it's perfect, ride quality is excellent and for my needs and wheel/tyre set up I dont need or want to go any lower.
