I'm looking to lower my van when I get it in March sportline springs 30mm - only because I think it looks better is there any pros/ cons to doing this other than be a few more hundred quid out of pocket .??

Bramco said:But what do you do with the old springs!!!
When we lived in Holland years ago there was a paved area in front of the houses with what our kids called wip waps. Basically what looked like a van spring with a platform on top and an animals head the kids sat on the platform holding the head and could happily rock back and forth.
Maybe with all these old springs around we could set up a production line.
Seriously though, they don't seem to have any value on flea bay, so has anyone else got any ideas, or do folks just leave them out for the scrapman?

Is that smoother than the factory setup or smoother than the VW Sportlines (Eibach) -30mm. Or hopefully both. tempted to change mine for something better. Maybe go the whole hog and get Bilstein B14, would that be a better ride still.

IN my opinion they are smoother than both, but especially so the -30mm factory (Sportline springs - which incidently in referral to a comment above, they make in T30 and T32)
On my new kombi, we have just fitted Bilstein B14's, and the difference is another step up the ladder, but so is the price!!
