Has anyone had experience with these guys? They have a bilstein kit for 4motions.

As long as the Bilstein shocks are real deal and not a 2nd grade, rejects or fakes, you can’t go wrong.

Here’s another supplier VW T6 4MOTION BODY LIFT KITS - GTV-VAN

So using this supplier, I found that superchep sell the springs as well. F/r for $460 with free delivery. Special order though. Are the King springs any good?

The King springs were very good in my T54mo for 11 years, so were the Pedders HD shocks, I didn’t bother with the front struts.

Ah cool. I'll start saving up!

Yes from me re King Springs too, had them in more than a few vehicles over the years.

Got my springs! Went for the hd.. Probably will regret it, but anyhow. Just need top mounts so I can change the struts over.

If you have the tools why not just use the original top mounts and save some cash?

[Transporter]

He must have the tool to fit the strut top. Maybe just wants the new ones to go with the new springs and struts, it makes sense.

Because I don't know if they have ever been changed and it's currently at 207k kms.

As transporter said, if it's all got to come apart, you had might as well put new stuff in. I don't want to take them out again when/if they crap themselves.

Fair enough. Enjoy the new ride once they’re in. It’s great.

Umm.. Are t6 struts the same as t5? When did they change? I'm stuck now as the ass is high and my front shocks have blown!

These are the hd springs. I didn't take measurements...

As far as I know, there isn’t any difference from T5 TO T6, my Seikel suspension is the same as the t5 on my T6, it’s still labelled T5.

there is a difference in mounting points for the 3200 kg gvm model compared to the standard 3000kg gvm model

[ozgti]

Well it's nkot going to fit. T5 is a strut into the hole in the hub carrier. This strut is bolting and sandwiching the upright like a mk2 golf. Wtf??

Yup it looks like you’ve got struts for a T32 and not a T30
