T5, 18” wheels, B14’s and H&R arbs

[Big Ted]

Took the bull by the horns today and ticked 2 items of my list. B14’s and H&R arbs.



Before and after shots.
60mm was asked for, not measured it yet as it look great to me. Really love the look.
Need more miles under my belt before I comment on the handling as journey home was after a long day with a jarred neck too.
H&R currently on the softer of the two settings, not sure of the effort to move it and benefits?
Mudflaps have caught a few times - something to get used to I guess.

That looks lovely indeed

I'd advise loading all holiday kit plus driver and passenger(s) then check the ground clearance. Might need to adjust to 50mm.

Your mud flaps look at a similar height to my setting for carpark barriers and parked up plus good motorways.
On APB air suspension.

Thanks.
It’s on the list of things to do.
At the moment the old springs, shocks etc are in the boot, so some extra weight in there.
Will get some bikes on the back too to help understand how the rear handles the weight.
Will post an update once done.

You'll have to place your mudflaps to the fron of the wheels to clean the road.

And I thought mine already scraped the road too much when driving on unlevel roads.

Not loading up to check clearance was something I learned the hard way when lowering cars. A back road with a roller coaster effect is a good test.
Incidentally I don't notice much difference in body roll with ride height changes, same ARB's as you.
