Lowering ????? how much

Post by Snag20 »

looking to lower the T25 Caravelle this winter ready for next summer ( inc. ferry to spain and driving back !! )

Am I correct in thinking a Caravelle is already lower than the Van version ? if so by how much ?

Considering a 60mm drop all round. Would 60 mm lowering springs lower either a Caravelle or Van version 60mm from its original ride height ???

any body got any picks of a 60mm drop as dont want it to be too low as it needs to be reasonably practical.

hope this makes sense

Some caravelles were lower and some weren't, apparently.

The 50mm drop kit is a nice sensible drop and shouldn`t cause you any clearance issues with arches and wheels etc, seen quite a few done by this amount (lowers 50mm below a standard van, no matter what springs you`ve got on at the mo, obviously if it`s already dropped by 30mm then it`ll go down another 20mm).
