Having now fitted the awesome new Solow Air to the demo van, these Solow coil overs are available at £800.
They've covered approximately 20000 miles and were on my van for 19 months. They are good to go for the next owner and I'll include a full 1 year warranty.
Fitting can be arranged at the Cave in South Petherton, Somerset, at an additional cost, a cost which can vary depending on how low you want to go!
We've fitted several of these kits to a variety of vans and found that in empty PVs and Kombis, you're looking at approximately 90mm minimum drop, heavier vans will have a larger minimum drop of course. We've seen 150mm in heavier vans at max drop. In my Kombi they were at their lowest setting with machined top mounts at the front and were approximately 135-140mm lower than a standard van. I've included a couple of pics of T32 vans with Solows fitted so that you can see the different ride heights.
Worried about the big drops and 20 inch wheels with load rated tyres? If you run these at, or close to, their upper limit, you can get T32 load rated 245/40 tyres which will work nicely. You can go a bit lower with 255/35 load rated tyres.
If you want the really big drops, load rated tyres are not an option, so bear that in mind before deciding whether or not this kit is for you.
As always, any questions, feel free to email chris@thevancave.co.uk or contact me via direct message on the forum.
A pic of the actual kit:
Blue van is a Kombi at max height at front, adjusted to match at the rear with 245/40 20 T32 load rated tyres:
Grey van is a Kombi all the way down with front machined top mounts and adjuster delete at the back. Tyres are not load rated.
