We are always looking at improving our range of suspension upgrades we offer.
We have been very successful with Bilstein B14's over the years and have fitted hundred of sets with lots of very happy customers. On the whole 'we all' want to upgrade to bigger wheels and run lower than springs, whilst improving the ride - this is the beauty of the coilover setup. Also very handy to level the ride, whether up or down dependant on the vehicle configuration. Bilsteins are very comfortable at full height, and at their most comfortable with an 18' wheel. When you lower them right down the ride firms up.
On my own car, 2016 Audi RS3 Stage 2, I've been through four different suspension setups from new over 3.5 years and 28k miles, which ended up on KW V3's which has literally transformed the way it drives and handles - Bearing in mind its lowered 30mm over standard on 235/35 19 tyres, its just doesn't crash at all any more - I actually removed the magride to fit it. Albeit at a cost - KW's are at the pricier end of the market, but in my view has been very worth it.
In the last few months, we have signed up to be a KW dealer, which gives us access not only to KW but also St Suspension, which is part of KW. We have also very recently signed ups to be an Eibach dealer.
Over the coming weeks/months we are planning to try all/most of their suspension offerings, to increase our product knowledge on the different systems, but look for more comfortable setups when running low and big wheels, and to give you more options when looking to upgrade your suspension.
First up this week is ST X, which is going on a 2019 T28 SWB T6 150PS Manual Highline, coupled with a set of 20" Supermetal Cells, and Sportline styling. I will run this van personally for a week or so, so it will get good use and I can compare it directly to our other suspensions set ups. I will run it 15mm off the bottom, which is how our demo is set up. Watch that thread for updates.
We will also be trying the following setups - there are certainly more offering for vans up to t30, but we will also look at the T32 options;
T26-T30
ST X
ST XA
KW V1
KW V3 - Going on our new demo
KW Street Comfort
Eibach
T32
KW V1
KW Street comfort
Eibach
Obviously where are the same style kit for both suspension variants, we will only run one. We will work out fitted prices for all and will be able to choose the right suspension set up for what you are after.
We have a customers vehicle booked in for the Eibachs next week, so this will only be a short 5 mile roadtest over our usual route, but this will give us an good idea, and we may look to put a kit on one of our vans in the future. This kit has been getting a lot of attention lately as being recognised by VW. We can supply the kit cheaper than VW though, as we deal directly with Eibach.
All this testing won't happen overnight, so please bear with us. If you are interested in one of these kits and we have yet to run it, we may be able to put a special price together, as long as we can put some miles on it to gauge some testing results/
Exciting times ahead, and in the next coupe of weeks we will be unveiling our new workshop, that is being built and aim to organise an open day, which we would love as many of you as possible to attend.
