Lowering of T5 (MY11) Transporter

[rob64981]

Patience - I have to lower the rear until I take some proper photos of her.
For now this will have to do!
Here is the best indicator of how low she is at the front...

Thanks but what the hell is the indicator?

When I saw this, I thought it was my keys as I have the same little torch on mine as well!!!

Get them wheels cleaned....

What are you doing with the shocks taken off?

Rob

[mikinoz]

Still trying to find the time to photograph them!

just ordered a full set of T5 JOM coilovers rear springs shocks, spacers etc. and a set of clear led side indicators for $640au posted from UK. super cheap when you compare to 1 pair of eibach springs at close to this price!!

Hello.

[rob64981]

Hello.

Thats more like it....

The wheels look like they are meant to be in the arches not like on the standard van where it looks like its more like an off road vehicle.

Keep up the good work.

My springs have now arrived from the UK so just finding time to get them fitted.

I find that the ride of our Multivan puts most GTI's to shame in terms of guard gaps nowadays. I really enjoy that.

*I must admit that it is not practical if you want to tow anything really heavy*

Sorry I can't assist with the directions on the front but make sure you get a wheel alignment!

the front on my van is a bit bouncy, am i able to just get cartridges ? are they a strut set up ? or shock ?

[ericcs]

basically just a mcpherson strut. same procedure to disassemble

Anyone know of companies in Victoria who do lowering fro multivans?

I went to a Pedders store and they dont do anything for multivans. If I got a lowered springs from overseas where could i get them fitted or should I just go for the OE vw lowered sports suspension? anyone know how much lower this is?

I do a bit of dirt rd driving so dont want to go super low maybe 30mm allround.

Any advice?
