Well after much deliberation and being a passenger in vans with different setups, from basic lowering springs to full triple bellow air ride, I have come to a decision.
After a very thorough discussion of how i use my camper, the weight of the vehicle being a LWB etc and the look i was after but not wanting the ride to be terrible - i was constantly reassured that the ride will be great compared to the standard T32 setup i had.
So, my kit was fitted, along with HD Top mounts, HD rear lower spring rubbers and longer drop links. All adjusted perfectly and looks fantastic - with still adjustment to go lower if i wanted to.
Now for the test drive, oh my days! I am absolutely amazed! My van has been transformed! Its so much smoother, bumps are loads less crashy, its just everything i didnt think it would be with coilovers and essentially 90mm drop!
The team at Supreme Conversions have constantly told me So-Lows are the way to go, they were right, the grin on my face will confirm that to anyone!
If you have any doubt (as i did!) get all your information together, ask questions on the forums - (you are all great by the way!) and give these lads a call and just tell Ian and John what you hope to achieve and you will not be disappointed!
- Lowering springs only on a T32 LWB T6 - looks decent, rides pretty much like the standard setup crashy etc but slightly worse.
- Air Ride, looks really really good especiall when aired out, the self levelling really appeals but in all honesty, it costs more than I wanted to spend.
- Lowering springs and shocks, yeah, really firm ride and responsive drive, maybe suits some but just don't go low enough for what I want.
- Coilovers, well this is where it gets really interesting, there's basically 2 maybe 3 real popular setups and very strong opinions on what's best, or more to the point who's kit is no good. After being a passenger in several vans over the last few weeks and also seeing and holding the product, my mind was made up, coilovers are the route for me.
