Lowering mk3

Postby big ltr » Sun Apr 22, 2018 8:07 pm

Hiya guys my van mk3 chevy v8 has been slammed but with no travel left on shocks so just bottoms out is there anyway of moving the top coil spring mounts to keep it low but have bigger springs and more movement on the shocks has this been done before take in to account that it's mid engined so no real weight on the front

The back on your van is running a jag rear end isn't it ? what set up is it at te front , standard transit ?

on a second note saw your van at biling today looking good and sounded nice when you where driving out 8)

well the rear you will need to find shorted bodied shocks, so they are not so squashed under normal load. with regards the front it will probably involve a bit of custom fabrication if you want a decent amout of travel with it lowered.
