SoLow by Bilstein

@T6180 how you finding the front tyre wear? When I have my extremes wound down the camber changes enough to scrub the inside edges out... I can’t get the 4 wheel alignment done either because there’s not enough arch gap to fit the gauges on.

tyre wear has been fine so far no issues at all touch wood

That’s good. What’s your measurement from center of hub to top of arch? Just curious..

I'll measure it tomorrow mate ...it's a little wet and cold at the minute

@BognorMotors will you be stocking these or will they be a THQ-only thing, do you know?

We have started discussions with them

 

[Shredder]

@T6180 ... so you're saying these are 80mm - 130mm drop options really ??

yeah you could say that

SO am I right in thinking that the SoLow at their highest are lower than B14s at lowest? WOW

 

[T6180]

Here's THQs stance (see what I did there) on their solow settings

I think there running rotiform 19s with 40 profile tyres on the van in the photos

I’m now wondering if, even out of the box at maximum height, they’ll be too low for a camper conversion with an ABT front splitter.

Finally had the SoLows fitted and the wheels. Wow what a difference!

How low have you gone mate, she looks spot on

 

[RyanGerry]

I think there is 25mm left, I think I may have to remove the mud flaps though as they scrape

 

[DaveyB]

Looks very good.

Don’t blame you have you tried the chrome caps on.

Not yet I’m up in Birmingham at the moment so will try them when I get back tomorrow

 

[Tourershine]

What size tyres are you running those on @RyanGerry? They look quite big, or is it the photo,

 

[fezza68]

I’m running 255 45 18 Dunlop sport maxx

 

[Nick t6]

Looks great.

I really want to buy these, but I am still awaiting a few more reviews to come on the forum.

Could you tell me if the ride is comfortable ? ( I had b14’s on my last van and I found them quite a harsh ride)

Are you getting any rubbing on the front and have you had any arch liner mods done ?

 

[RyanGerry]

So far so good it’s totally transformed the van. No rubbing but I’ve not really drove it to be fair, I’m definitely going to lift it about 10mm and it’s just a tad to low. As for arch mods I’ve not done anything
