It must be T30 as that's what the 150DSG model is supposed to be. I think the T32 ships with Devonports. But not certain. How would I find out? Also, if it's a T30 with upgraded springs.... they should be T32 springs already!
Suspension sagging at the rear. What can I do?
- Thread starter MEX72
- Start date
Thanks! Is there a way to figure out which springs it already has?
I'd say about 650kg
That is a fair bit and you say you'll be adding 50KG so with a full tank of fuel you're talking three quarters of a tonne on a daily basis.
While these vans are built to carry a load many commercial users won't care if it sags at the rear, you do.
I think in your shoes I'd speak to a suspension specialist such as @CRS Performance.
Yes, is it the same both sides ?
Sadly, we haven’t seen that combination yet, so difficult to tell how heavy duty they are.
As you can tell from the table in the link I posted above, it’s not as simple as one type of spring for a T30 and another for a T32 - there are loads of variations.

This is good advice, I may need to look further into it to get the van how I want. As you say, it's quite a lot of weight for any van.
One of the reasons I don't want it sagging is so that nobody will know there's anything in the back security wise.
Thanks Pete. I'll double check that it's the same both sides. It looks from the chart that they are mainly using combinations of grey for T32 but that's not a certainty.
Interesting that they do a rear axle only. Air suspension is going to be super expensive though?
Decent value, you can have it so you add air manually or an electric setup. The basic one should be ample if you run the same weight daily. Not as expensive as you'd think. It's basically a couple of airbags, some mountings and then pipe with schrader valve for inflation
Hi Mate, I don't know if it helps but I have recently had the standard springs taken off my 6.1 California Coast which is a T30. The colours and/or number of splodges differs from yours.
The wheel arch at the front is stamped into the body higher than the arch at the rear, so when the van is level there will be a smaller gap between the tire and arch at the back. To make the rear gap the same as the front, you will have to jack the rear of the van up in the air. Try measuring the distance from the ground to the rocker panel front and rear.
Yes based in Ireland, but if I can figure out the best route, I can probably find someone to do the work here.
Thanks for that, looks different again to what I have so the confusion continues!
