Over the moon with the SoLow -45mm Eibach spring set.

[J3AAY]

Just thought I’d post as I was unable to find almost nothing on these springs.

I’ve got a T32 which is not worked, but used as a big car. The most weight it gets is when camping with the family.

Now a full set of shocks and springs would always be best, but like most I had a budget and had always been happy with my previous vans on dealer fitted Eibach Sportline springs (-30mm).

I saw these as a kit at ~£260 and jumped at it (thanks for eBay’s discounts / voucher codes).

The ride is just like the Sportlines, but it’s marginally lower. I really like it. PSA before and after side shots.

It’s still got to settle, and I’ve got to get the 4- wheel alignment done, but you get the idea.

Highly recommended for anyone wanted a modest drop on a budget

How have you found the ride quality? I'm stuck in analysis paralysis between the SoLow -45mm and the H&R springs -40mm... Or save up for the B14s.

I've got a T6 multivan on 19s which is a bit heavier than the transporter. It will be used as a basic camper, so I don't want to go too low but your drop looks perfect.

did you use the dampeners you had already on these @J3AAY ? I've got a 67plate t30 which has 20's on it and want to both reduce the height and improve the feel/bounce. I appreciate ideal would be doing springs and shocks but budget is limited and these looked good to my simple brain

Sorry mate, just seen this. Ride is lovely, obviously had them on some time now. Also done some fully laden runs to the tip and no issues.

I used the original dampers. No issues at all. Rides lovely

My T32 sits pretty much level currently on the standard suspension.

Are these springs rated the same as T32 springs?

If so, I should be ok without the adjustable version?

My van is a T32 and the van sits really nice. It’s as it should have left the factory in my opinion. It’s not ‘slammed’ but looks just right in my mind.

Pics attached. It’s changed a bit since when I first posted.

Nice one cheers.

Wouldn't want to introduce a saggy rear end is all I'm thinking.

If you carry weight you may want adjustable ones. The most I carry is camping / holiday stuff which is weighty but it’s not worked with tools and materials.

When full with holiday kit it remains level, no need for adjusters for me (mines T32 as well).

Mine is a fully loaded camper. Currently sits level ( to the eye ).
