Suspension Upgrade For Comfort Only?

After reading this thread, I've ordered a set of the aforementioned Koni shocks as I'm after comfort only as my 2017 T6 is a horrible crashy ride compared with my disco4 and land cruiser Amazon air ride

I'm in South Africa, and I believe the supplier is a sister company/ family of CRS UK.

@CRS Performance is there anything else to get / watch out for as I'm in the Western Cape so getting them fitted by a local garage.
I recall something about replacing bump stops and someone said the standard springs are fine to run.

It's a school run 8 seater bus that does 60km a day on good tarmac

Keep standard springs to maximise comfort , do you know if the van is a T32 or T28/T30 ?? The rear springs on a T 32 are quite hard particularly if there is no weight in the rear . would recommend new top mounts and bearings ( on the front shocks ) drop links and the small rubber on the bottom of the rear spring as these are problematic.

Can s end you part numbers if you want to get them from VW direct
 
Thanks, spoke to 2 guys, one was called Morne, one of them mentioned "my dad"
Got the parts from the Joberg region in SA, think it was Boksburg

I'm not sure if its a T32 etc
Its a 2017 8 seater with comfort dash, bi-turbo (not caravelle)
on log book its VN 750-Kombi and Tare is 1866

Is there a way to tell from the above what T it is?

Not really , but a photo of the bottom of the front shock will tell beyond doubt .

PS i am the aforementioned DAD ha ha

Ha cool

I got the car back just now, the drivers side front feels quite clunky with the new shocks all round, I'm not sure if this is normal or if there is a worn part, they replace all 4 bushings on the control arms so shouldn't be these
