Review: CRS Performance UK
- Thread starter VanDamMan
- Start date
No mate, it was another brand which for the life of me can't remember! It wasn't bilstein, Steve was explaining that these shocks have adaptive rebound so make a huge difference to the ride quality
Rogue Alloy CC1's
17". No increase at all, in fact seems much quieter! Had standard Continentals fitted and changed to Michelin Agilis cross climates. Might be just me but it sounds more like a car rather than a van now. Its as if the road noise is absorbed by the new Konis rather than transferring through the chassis. Might be talking b*****ks but that's how it seems. Much better ride and the looks alone made it worthwhile for me.
Yeah, I found my van was quieter when I changed my tyres from the original Hankook commercial tyres to the Yokohama Geolander A/T GO15. The road noise that still remains seems more of a deeper tone that is less annoying too. I haven't changed my suspension......Yet
Just to concur with you @Pedro20001 I'm just back from CRS and really grateful for their advice, help and service. The van is now lowered and looks amazing- and all done really promptly too! Cheers Steve and your team.
Can I give a massive shout out to Steve at CRS Performance for anyone looking to improve their vans, had a new setup on my T28 today and can only say that I’m chuffed to bits at the difference it’s made to all aspects of driving the van and it looks so much better than before.His knowledge and advice has certainly worked for me… Thanks Steve ….Rob
Many thanks , we never take praise for granted and appreciate all the comments we get
Many thanks Sir
On recommendations just before Christmas, I had Steve at CRS Performance supply and fit a KW STX coilover lowering suspension, alloys and tyre package.
His customer service is excellent ,so far on a 50mm drop on the standard vw wheels the ride is firm but not harsh .
Very happy and will update when I get the supplied alloys and tyres on and pictured.

Any performance suspension system has to be valved to cope with the range that the kit can do height wise . if the kit is certified to do 65 mm drops the shocks and springs need to be firmer to cope at the lowered ride height . if it wasnt the suspesnion will continuously bottom out and that would be terrible for the ride .
The STX kit seems to be well balanced and offers hi levels of comfort for a kit that can do 65 mm .

Spent a couple of hours at CRS last week having the suspension replaced on our 2017 T6 T28 camper...
Steve fitted a set of Koni Active shocks, plus springs and a pair of control arms - no fuss, no bother.
The original springs did raise eyebrows from the guys however - 4 blue markings on 2 of them, was told they hadn't seen this particular set of marks before.....
All in all, well chuffed, handles like a dream now (bearing in mind it's a van!), next job - remap.
Well done CRS, recommended

4 blue marks are for a weight class 10 PR code.
Why thankee sir - I am still absolutely none-the-wiser!
As long as someone understands, I'm happy - cheers...
STOP PRESS…..CRS Performance does it again 
Had the miss fortune to visit VW ( Adblue software) but got a health check…they said wear in the rear spring mounts….not that I don’t trust VW
……Rang Steve ….Just got back from them.. Excellent and quick service …
Had both rubbers changed….. Happy days
Competition time…..What’s missing

Nipped into CRS Performance today for Steve & team to swap standard suspension for KW.
Nice brew, a bit of chat and I was on my way back up the M6 in no time! The ride is noticeably better and the van looks great too!
I'm sure it's even added a few bhp
Thanks again gents
