Lowering springs on a transporter?

Post by **Horney** » 27 Apr 2006, 20:19

I've read that some of the different variants of the T25 had different ride heights and my guess is this was done with different length springs.

My question is this. Will 40mm drop springs drop my standard transporter 40mm or more or less?

Many thanks,

Nick

Well, my 60mm JK spring/shocks kit lowered my van by 60mm!

Not sure about the springs on there own. I shouldn't think there is much difference.

Im sure someone has done it........

I was just wondering as with the Golf it was 10mm lower than standard being an 8v Gti so the 40mm drop springs on that only lowered it 30mm if you see what I mean? THe original springs were already 10mm lower.

I just wondered if it was the same with T25 as I had read some ran lower than others as standard.

some already have lowered springs 30mm i think, it'd be the blustar's and the like and no a 60mm lowerd spring won't lower 60mm more that the 30 it already has been lowered

60mm.........lowers the van by 60mm from standard height.
40mm.........lowers the van by 40mm from standard height.
70mm.........lowers etc etc

Wheel ramps are the best way of raising a Land Rover - lets you get under to fix whatever it is that's now broken

I must have missed the part in the original question refering to either Land Rovers or raising the ride height. just remind me what DH stands for again.
