Springs! Have I goofed?

[GlenTvw6]

Will these front springs fit my 2016 T6 T32 Kombi.
I want the van back to factory ride height.
They are from a T6.1 (T32) but I have now removed the rubber bonded rubber ‘seat’ from them hoping they fit.
They seem to look shorter than T6 spec? Looks like one less coil to me . Will the van sit Lower than it should with them ?

Not necessarily - it depends on the strength of the spring.
I've got a set similar with no coloured dots just 'HFH' and they're a stiffer spring than my other set that came off a new 6.1.
They're slightly shorter like yours but when fitted on the van made no difference to the ride height I assume because they don't compress as much as the taller one with more coils

Cheers man , with that I think I’m going to go with them ,they’re 20mm shorter apparently. That will hardly be noticeable, if at all? My van started out as a kombi and is now a full weighty camper so maybe this could help a smidge to level things out when its fully loaded?
It’s booked in Friday. I’ll post the results.

They will fit but the T6.1 spring is a good 20 mm shorter , so the van will be 20 mm lower . What you could have done is leave the sound isolator on and we could have given you 2 low mileage T6.1 dampers and it would have been spot on . same height

Thanks for your knowledge.. I should have!..So if I go ahead and use them with the T32 OE rear springs that are also going on as well it will just sit 20mm ‘ish’ lower up front.
I was going to fit 13mm rear spacers from Transporter HQ that I have. Do you think leave them off now to avoid the nose down Wacky Racer look.

Yes dont fit the spacers it might level up the chassis a bit more

Thanks man!.. left the spacers out. Just picked it up. Different van to drive, stock, but so much better
Measures rear: wheel centre to arch 450mm
Front: wheel centre to arch 445mm
Looks perfect. There you go, as you say, it will work.
