transit mk3-5 four link suspension ???

[mike En]

As above, just throwing an idea out there, I know you can buy kits to convert early escorts/capris etc from leaf springs to four link setup with coilovers. Just wondered if its been done on a transit ?
I like the idea of doing away with the leaf spring and fitting regular shock and spring. Or even better would be running airbag setup

did you go ahead with it? I'm planning on getting a transit connect, removing the leaf springs and putting it on bags.

No, purely just throwing an idea out there !
If I was more confidant at welding and had the time and spare money id have a crack at it though !

i thought about it but decided it was too much hassle and the van was never going out out handle a ferrari so in the end i kept the leaf springs but fitted anti tramp bars

for airbags it could work tho

this is mine (painted now tho)

I've looked in to this aswell. But on a FWD mk6. And like said, if you want to run air bags it could be ideal..
The other option i have thought about would be to five link it and then rather than run airbags, mount it on coilovers.cheaper way of getting it to sit low
