Hi and thanks for the suggestion,
Gave this quite some thought and researched the options but kept going back to the Bilstein B14 kit and Swift Performance after reading an article on-line in TradeVanDriver Magazine. Contacted Swift Performance and after explaining my need had a long chat with Russel who is one of the two founders, the other being Tim. Russ understood the issues associated with the Transit Custom suspension when unloaded from personal experience (TradeVanDriver article) and the Bilstein solution benefits for the Transit Custom Sport van. He didn't criticise the standard set up by saying it's bad, just it's designed to do a job which for many trade and fleet owners it does.
Turns out Russ has now replaced his Custom Sport Van with a new MS-RT he's already modified to suit his needs including the Bilstein B14 kit. I was already thinking Bilstein was the way for me but hearing Russ had replaced his MS-RT standard hardware it was decision made. Booked in, Russ did the work on my Tourneo himself and very thorough he was doing a full alignment check plus measurements before and after.
