Alright guys!
Right my summer darkside (VW) rush is over so time for a bit of Rootes action!!!
Commer Lowering Available Now for £425. Drive in... Drive out!
You've seen "Sunny Citrus" and you've seen my gnarly white Autosleeper.
Sunny is out of control! It looks wicked but its undriveable really. I drive it but I'm very tolerant... I build super slammed cars every day and I drive super slammed cars every day... that's my job but in reality it's too slammed!!!

The Autosleeper is not quite as slammed but still pushing the limits! I use it regularly; we go to cornwall at least twice a year in it and we take it to loads of VW shows. It's useable but it's on the limit!

We can lower your commer however much you want... From 1 inch to 8 inches... It's the same job and the same amount of work however you want it...
At the front we cut the springs; I've tried uprated springs, I've tried shorter springs. Ive uprated the shocks, Ive downgraded the shocks. Nothing rides as well as the standard set-up... This in conjunction with lower profile tyres sorts the front.
At the rear we flip the axle so instead of being underneath the leaf springs it rides on top. Flip is probably the wrong word really... The first Commer slam job flipped the axle. i.e turned it upside down. This isnt a good thing to do though because the sump which holds the oil that the diff needs to keep lubricated suddenly isnt there, its on top which aint cool. Our slam jobs keep the axle exactly as it should be... just a bit higher in the chassis. The problem is that by "flipping the axle" it drops the van nearly 6 inches which is too much. To counteract this we extend the rear leaf spring hangers. The front can't be adjusted; it's a fixed mounting but the rear is totally flexible. Remember though whatever you extend it by you only achieve half of that because you're only adjusting one side. It involves pythagoras and a load of other crazy calculations but that's the way it is! I've done them. It was hard work but 4 years studying for a Bachelor of Science degree must come in useful sometime!
If you see a nice original untouched Commer camper it always looks a bit arse down, ie. the back end is lower than the front. You dont really notice it on panel vans but on campers its really obvious! The reason for this is that all campers have sat on their wheels with their camping interior (in effect that's heading towards fully laden) so the weight has been permanently resting on their rear leaf springs which has excessively stretched them. This means that the springs have less tension which in turn makes the back sit lower than standard. To combat and correct this in our slam jobs we have the top 2 leaf springs tig-welded together; the guys who do this for me build the titanium bomb blast guards that surround the British Armies military vehicles... These boys can weld and it won't break! Some people have critised this and said it is excessively modifiying the set-up and could therefore in theory fail an MOT. Theoretically yes that is true but realistically your MOT tester will never spot it. If that worries you, no problem we won't do it. But I guarantee you, drive a commer without and then drive my autosleeper. Its ready and waiting please feel free to come and test it. Lots of people talk the talk but at the Milkandtwo Slam Shop we talk the talk and walk the walk; My personal van is there; if you want to drive it, help yourself, its parked outside my shop and the keys are under the drivers seat...
My main business is lowering VW's with my custom built kits. Thats been my business for 7 years. I drive lowered cars every day. I couldn't even tell you the last time I drove a standard height car!! I've researched and developed this solution for commers by using my own van which I've done 5000 miles a year in for the last 4 years. I stand by what I do. It is the best solution.
If you want to give me a shout call Bobby on 07970 555104
Ive got 2 Commers booked in for this in December but there's room for 2 more in my schedule...
Are you ready?!
