Thanks all. Glad to be on board. I must say this van is not for the purest hope I don't upset anyone. Wanderer/Auto sleeper/RC40/SU/Lexus/Davies Craig & lowered on american wheels. Oh dear, not Good. Blame Tim for giving me these ides ;-)
 
There's room for standard, there's room for sensible mods and there's room for radical and everything in between - we love them all[8D]

I bet the ride is lovely:I
At lease the diff wont hit the underneath of the van - the suspension bump-stops will see to that[xx(]

ITS ALIVE AND ITS A MONSTER.
 
And big fingers;)
I agree - who in their right mind would want one to go faster, brake better and be more comfortable:)

Do I detect a small amount of sarcasm about ride quality Mr Panky:D:D:D
Personally I think having a vehicle lowered by that much is lets face it.....a dangerous manor is just plain dangerous! .....each to their own though I guess:D:I:I:D

Are you saying that having a 40 year old 1 1/2+ ton top heavy box with supersoft springs and a wheel track half the width of the vechile riding 2 feet above the ground isn't dangerous? :D

Lets face it, if any of us wanted to be safe, we would go buy a new Transit or a T5 Transporter, but wheres the fun it that?

I know which way I'll be adjusting my ride height ;)
 
How true:) But I'd like to keep the teeth I've got left and have a decent ride;)
