hello well i have my van/camper which currently sits at standard ride height.
all i want it to do is make it handle better but also look better without going to low
and stoping me from getting in to campsites ect
so how low is yours?
what set up?
and what ground clearance do you have?
thanks chris

60mm drop no ground clearance to speak of. Grounded water tank a few times.

Better handling starts with uprated gas/adjustable shocks, start with those which is a nice Sunday afternoons work and if you want to improve it further go down with harder springs starting at -35mm Multivan springs down to -50mm for the best of all worlds...

-50 avos with yellow bilsteins on my westy with no grounding probs at all.

i also fitted the lean correction kit.

If your van is sitting higher at the front, you may have some very tired rear springs. It might be worth checking they are safe to drive on. My Triumph Dolomite Sprint suffered from this problem.

I sold the Sprint to get the campervan. I love Triumphs though. I miss my Sprint, but I really miss the Spitfire I had before it. I'll get another one day I'm sure.

i'm looking to lower my crewcab when it gets back from paint, -50mm with 18" wheels 40 profile is this a bad idea am i going to get chronic back ache doing this??

Cheers
