lowering a mk7

Hi
my van is sitting very high at the back ever since I fitted some new springs.
Midlandroadsprings has offered to supply some lowered/straighter ones.
Has anyone had this done before?
cheers

Yes, i was the first I believe, and they have done several more. Very good people, just tell them how far to go.

How much lower food you go?
What tranny was it on ?

40mm was about right, depends if you are going to carry anything heavy.

That's the two springs together to show the difference.

Did the 40mm lower spring equate to the van being 40mm lower?
I've got a helper spring underneath which has a gap of 48mm on the ends, so only helps when loaded up and touching.

You need to talk to the guys there, as no 40mm is not the same as the spring since the shackle angle changes.

These guys do springs all day long, ring then up and have a chat, they are proper old school.
