Rear adjuster delete with Bilsteins

[Wilkyway]

The rear of my van sits too high compared to the front. I’ve got a set of B14’s fitted but the rear adjusters don’t look like they’ll budge, they’re currently wound about 2/3 of the way down. Before I buy replacement and wind them further down, does anyone have any pictures of B14’s on a kombi with the adjusters removed and Powerflex adjuster deletes fitted?
The back of my van is empty 99% of the time so the Powerflex deletes may be ideal.

When I ran b14s I had the fronts all the way down and removed one of the adjuster rings on the rear. It sat lower at the back than the front so you should be able to do this rather than go for adjuster deletes.

Thanks Gary!
I took the adjusters out on the drive this morning to see how it sat. It was just springs so there might be a slight rise in height if the power flex deletes were in there but it’s too low. This is with nothing in the back of the van either.

If you can get the adjusters free and wind them all the way down it should sit level.

I am also looking to remove the rear adjusters & also possibly get some machined top mounts for the front. When I bought my van it sat almost perfectly on Stance+ coilovers but I had to replace them due to broken springs. Now I can’t get my B14s to go anywhere near that low.

Interested to hear opinions from those who have done this.

I want the wheel arch to sit just above the tyre 5/10mm gap. At the moment I’m all the way down on the front & the back.
Tyres are 275/35/20 (I know I’ll have to go for a narrower tyre on the front if I drop the front any more)
Also all four corners are all slightly different so I’d like to have the gaps all even.

Machined top mounts will give you another 10-15mm.

I was after the same sort of stance as you mention and ended up replacing my b14’s with some Solow lows and machined top mounts. I run the fronts at their highest setting and rears at their lowest with adjusters in place. The ride is also much improved with the solow’s, I think it’s partially as the suspension is well within its intended ride height range whereas I was running the b14s at the limit of what they were designed for.

This is how it sits…
