fwd. I've seen the company further up the page who charge £200 for you to leave the van with them and go collect it once theyve decambered, painted and refitted them but ideally want to find someone locally to do it for me

I really like the look of buzzers and teddys on the banded steelies. I don't want it sitting on the floor, just looking squat over banded steelies

Right. These are the guys that can decamber your rear springs
http://leafsprings.co.uk
They do loads of Transits.will give a mild drop in hight at the rear.
I wanted to go lower so went with an axle flip at the rear. Which not only drops it down lower than decambered springs but gives the option of being free to do if your handy with the welder and dont mind a bit of fabrication work :wink:
