Hi, after looking at A LOT of confusing posts.......
Lowering my van asap. Looking at getting springs (eibach) as I don't carry a lot of weight anyway. But do I get a full set of springs or just the fronts as I have been told there are leaf springs on rear?
If leaf springs are the case what is crack with lowering the rear?
The van is a 2012 model
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Normal Springs or leaf springs
The leaf spring on the rear makes lowering a little more complicated. The axle is relocated to above the leaf spring, giving a 160mm drop, the rear mounting for the leaf spring is then moved to lift the body from the axle to reach the desired drop.
