I recomend the original 16 shocks.
When i last ordered (about 8 months ago) there were 4 sets of fronts left and no rears left unfortunatly.
Next best would be old man emu. They did have a little bad batch but havent heard anything bad for a while now.

reading up on the seikel springs there seems to be va 140 and ha 120. does this mean a differance between front and rear or are there 2 different sets available and if so which to choose.

any ideas what ride hight the van would sit at with the seikels and at what ride hight do the 16" shocks start to top out. i`m thinking if the seikels will lift the van approx 3 - 6 cm i may be outside the scope of the std shocks in there std mounting points and would after make brackets and the like.



sorry for all the questions guys if i`m starting to annoy then tell me to shut up.


cheers lee.

If your van is as heavy as you say it is then you should be getting a lift of about 4 cms with the seikels. So go out and measure where it is now and add 4 cms. You will be outside the scope of the standard shocks at that so you will need longer shocks to prevent bottoming out. I got my rears from Syncro Services and my fronts from Buschmiede. Everything fits on easily with no messing with brackets.

I still have a pair of front springs for sale that will suit you

syncropaddy you have pm

With seikles you will be within all the shocks limits. These springs were desighned to operate within all the tolerences for your shocks and cv joints not like lots of others.
They will lift a heavy van more than a light one.A heavy one up to 4cm
