Finally got it lowered !

Finally got the van down after having the kit for two months. Looks good and handles so much better. H&R front springs and a dark side flip kit ( with no instructions ) but my mechanic worked it out eventually. Image

What have you lowered yours on mate? What’s the handling and bounce/stiffness like? Looks good, I’m trying to find the right kit for mine

I used the stance+ kit from venom motorsport. I like the kit, got a bit of bounce to it. Don’t like the kits what are to hard over bumps

Ha no probs. The ride is good on them. You don’t feel every tiny bump like you do with some kits. There is some suspension in them and not rock hard. Suppose depends how you want the ride to be

Andy132,

Did you have to trim the rear bump stops? Looks like it in your picks. What’s the clearance like when on the ground? Rear doesn’t bottom out?

My van is factory lowered, whatever that is. And the ride is a joke. Unless you are on a motorway or smooth A road it handles like a clown car. It pitches and rolls, the rebound on the suspension men’s that when you come to a stop it actually pitches the nose down the the van oracle when it comes to a stop!

I would love to find a setup including the rear (which is also soft as f**k) to give it a half decent ride.
