So replaced topmounts and added the bearings back in lol
Also fitted my 'parts catalogue find' £20 shortened rear shocks. Ive not tested them with a loaded van but theyre spot on unloaded! Sorry for the poor pics


So are these designed for lowered connect or just random shocks that fit the space?
£20 seems rather cheap. Are they new for that price?

Not for a connect no. Just fit in the space. £20 each new yes.

Different Drizz, that's for sure. Why the difference in front and rear arch colour? Liking the banded steels, think you could go lower though, PM me for details :wink:
