T6/T30 LWB Suspension Woes

[Pilchy]

Hi!

I have a 16 plate T6 LWB T30 thats been converted with a pop top/kitchen/RNR bed etc. The previous owner installed a STANCE+ SPC094 suspension kit which from what I can tell, might not have an adequate spring rating for the weight of the van. The rear suspension is heavily compressed at idle. It bottoms out quite a bit. The front looks like it might be corroded damaged. I wanted to get a second opinion on this before I commit to upgrading the front and rear shocks/springs. Images attached. Mainly want to know if this is even safe to drive at the moment.

Lastly, should I get a full upgrade, some recommendations on a kit would be great - not massively interested in being able to adjust height, just looking for ride comfort. I've had a browse through the forums and often Koni/H&R popping up a lot. I've got the van in for a flywheel/clutch replacement on the 13th - would be looking to tack the suspension on then as well, so preferably any products that I can get delivered to south of the UK before then would be grand.

Cheers!
