Hi @Tim Sparkes , How low did you go? Do you have any before and after photos?Just got back home after a trip to @CRS Performance for a set of H&R coilovers and ARBs. What a pleasure the whole experience was. A lift into town whilst we waited for the work to be completed, a new wheel and brake demo and all by a lovely bunch of lads who really know their stuff. Thanks guys.
Oh and the H&Rs……worth every penny.
I've kind of raised it. The van was lowered 100mm but was an awful ride, now at 80mm.Hi @Tim Sparkes , How low did you go? Do you have any before and after photos?
Steve I can’t thank you enough for the advice and sorting out my harsh ride. I am so happy now and knowing that i can go lower still without the shocks reaching it limits like before. Thank youA little bit of. Banter chat for a Saturday afternoon .
I received a message today from one of my first H & R coil over clients ( Forum member ). This was over three years ago he wanted the van set up low , 80 mm.
he really liked the improvement over the B14 we removed when we fitted it for him .
he has treated himself to a new T6.1. And it came with project twin adjust low Kit fitted . He couldn’t get on with it and said the ride was bad. He has fitted his three year old H and R kit now and once again happy ,
the moral of this story for all the companies trying to redevelope and rebrand products to gain market share , stick to what we know. The B14 type. Kits have proved over time to be pretty poor in design durability and reliability , But the good kits are often overlooked because of the media frenzy around B14 s .
The H & R kit has 15 years of being a market leader and it has undergone very little in the way of revisions
The biggest of these revisions is. Our own design front spring and the most important revision was the introduction of the T32 front shock Becoming a Koni damper part and the old version using Bilstein shocks being discontinued . Several. Forum members tried the Bilstein mono tube front shock and found it a little too harsh , but that is a typical characteristic of the Bilstein shock and as I have said before great on Silverstone not on a van, camper or bus . We will be doing a full feature on this kit soon and some of the new kits That we Are Launching for the camper conversion industry as well. Exciting stuff .
Hope everyone is looking forward to the spring and summer seasons. Apologies to all the customers who I haven’t been able to talk to whilst I was away for very overdue short break , normal service is resuming. Thanks Steve.

Thanks manNice plate. . . It’s my name too
Lol I wasI bet you were grinning on the drive home!
Good set up and I will vouch too. The comfort is night and day.I am not usually one to write reviews however I feel I need to tonight.
A week ago I visited Steve at @CRS Performance to replace the crappy stance+ coilovers which the van came with. I opted for the H&R coilover kit with a 65mm drop. These have been amazing and after 500 miles last week the difference is amazing. No more clenching as I approach a bump in the road, awesome bit of kit.
The guys there were nothing but amazing, coffee whilst you wait and a good chat about all things cars and vans. I noticed a small knocking afterwards which was coming from the tie rod ends, without hesitation Steve got me in last minute today to replace for me FOC. Brilliant customer service.
If you are after anything for your van, Steve is the man. Thank you again Steve and see you in a few months for some new brakes and ARB
