T25 ride height

Post by coolrunnings »

Was convinced my T25 DOKA was lowered, I don't know by how much, but it looks lower and handles better than my old camper. Now comes the problem, one of my rear springs has snapped and it's failed MOT. A friend who's DOKA is lowered by 45mm with green H&R springs has a ride height of 21cm from the bottom of the bracket where the rear swing arm mounts to the floor. Mine is 26cm so sits 50mm higher so I'm now nor sure if it is lowered. Anyone know what the standard tide height is or can measure for me please.

That doesn't look standard height to me.

Suggestion. As you shouldn't replace a lone spring, remove the partnered spring and measure it. Call Brickwerks and buy a replacement pair to match or dare I say, a new set as the others must be on their way out too. Not sure if you can even buy pairs tbh


Picture suggests -50mm springs.

I have H&R green springs on my camper. Mine is much lower then 45mm. More like 70/80mm, as I have weight. Generally H&R Greens are 55m Min drop!

Though, I am replacing my H&R Greens next week with Eibach, as they lower my campervan too much!
