Lowering A 2016 T32 4motion

[aNDY KIRK]

So im getting my new van a couple of weeks. I would have liked air ride but just cant justify the cost or lie to the wife that much. So its Bisteins or KW. After a few calls most wont fit on s 4motion and others have said they can knock on a 4motion. Has anyone any experience with a 4motion and or recommended anywhere to fit.

Thanks
Andy

I know a couple of folk with T32 4motion with Bilstein B14’s. They definately fit. Ask Oli @BognorMotors as he was possibly one of the first to stick them on a 4motion on the forum.
As to knocking, I would say this is not something necessarily related to a 4motion running B14’s. I have a fed T32 and get a knocking. Am being told it’s defo not the 14’s. Yet to determine exactly where it is coming from.

I had a knocking from the rear on my old T5.1 T32.

Turned out one of the rear springs had been fitted upside down!

My T32 LWB is in having B14's fitted at the moment, it better not come back to me with any kind of knocking noises.

Mine did not come back with the knocking noise, it developed over time.

My B14 rears knocked from day one, so I put the standard rear shocks back on, and its marginally better but its under-damped especially on rebound.

I'm going against what many others have said, as I'm completely underwhelmed with the B14 set up. Yes, its lower, yes its stiffer. But I think the overall ride quality is bloody awful. Hopefully the B14 dampers will get returned and transform it.
