Cheers Ive got another bumper lined up, but wont be for a while (mot and tax to contend with in feb)

cracking work so far gary, starting to miss my mk4 van now and its only been gone a month.

Thanks. I love it, its great on fuel (if your not on boost) rides/handles like a car, and so handy for putting stuff in the back

Looking ace so far Gary!

It'll be better once it's lowered. But not on it's arse lowered, enough to get the 17's to fill the arches lowered.

You guessed it Had them on my white corsa b years ago, and still had a spare pair.

Defo, the arch gap at the mo is like 80-90mm lol Cant decide what suspension to go for, thinking budget coilovers. As i know no matter what springs i get i wont be happy

[mac1976]

ave got the budget coilovers on my van gary its spot on for looks and it rides well to , a paid £169 for them to ma door and its on its arse

[pockets]

chris's old vans now looking good, he did want to mod it but never got the time to do it.

to lower it just cut a coil or 2 off the front springs and stick a ton of stuff in the back and job done and nice and cheap! lol

That the racelands? There cheap and do the job, but apparently the oil seals in the front are prone to failure

lmao That would work, but i think ill stretch to some lowering spings

[GaryVaux]

Just won these for a decent price (presumably as the item was collection only) on ebay:



Eibach sportline springs. There from a 1.8 mk5 sri 3-door, so may sit a few mm higher on the van.
So a wee trip to perth for them on tuesday when im off

[Melv]
