Sorry, have already posted this elsewhere. Dying to get stuck into changing a few things, not wanting to appear impatient!!!
Hi all, my van handles really badly. It's already been lowered, not sure by how much.
Cornering is an experience and any kind of small pothole etc results in a hefty jolt,
As it's the best part of 25 years old, it's a bit worn.
Been looking at the Brickwerks site, tempted by the h&r springs. Not sure about the shocks.
I guess it comes down to how much I want to spend. Trouble is, I don't know what I can expect with having it all replaced! Any help here would be appreciated ,
Also, when looking from the rear, the rear wheels have a lot of -ve camber, is this anything to worry about?

my van runs the avo 70mm springs and the bilstein b4 shocks - it handles as well as a van could!

however, maybe your steering rack bushes are monkeyed - if it jolts at potholes

Sounds like someone's hit TOO hard with the lowering stick to me.

Welcome to the forum by the way

Yeah, it does look a bit low. Previous owner trolleyed the wastewater tank in a camping field!!
Will have to make a descision. Was looking at the avo setup, but wondered whether the h&r were worth the extra.
Will have a butchers at the bushes too .
Cheers all
