T32 suspension improvement

[hip99]

Just fitted rear Koni special actives from CRS - wow! The single biggest improvement that I’ve made to the van - it’s almost car-like now. I drive it unladen a lot, and the new shocks just sort it all out. It’s loads quieter, and massively more comfortable. Cheers @CRS Performance

did you only do the rears? if so any reason not the fronts?

My priority was the suspension related to load rather than how it went round corners, so that’s why I did the rear first. I’ll do the front as well at some point, but that will have to fit in with other stuff on the list! Even with just the rears done though, the thing I wanted improving is now sorted.

Can you fit the shocks and maintain standard ride or close to?

My 4motion goes off tarmac a fair bit but it would be nice to make it less crashy

Yes the shocks do not change the height at all , therefore leave the springs as they are, the ride improvement is day and night and no change in ride height .

The special valving takes all the crashy bangs etc out , the ride is substantially better

For the full benefit of these amazing shocks its ideal to do all 4 , Hip 99 will get the fronts done i am sure

I'm assuming because the ride height wouldn't change I wouldn't have to have the alignment re-done or would you recommend checking it anyway?

Rear dampers only don't have any affect on alignment.

Just the back shockers help quite a lot to control the roll and stability of the van. I tested my koni coils on the arse when I fitted it round the block to see if it was all sound before moving on to the front, and it substantially decreased roll, whilst keeping the back end way more planted and stable. I’d personally still change all four shockers to match though.
