  2. The gaz shocks are the ones I'm looking in to . Just measured mine and it's 22inch from the ground to the wheel arch . That's with 175-55-15 on the front. I know these are not van tyres but I only run a panel van and a bed and two front seats that's all it need

    Tracked you down!! Did the Gaz shocks help?

    I'm running Protech adjustable shocks and maybe having similar problems :(

    Cool, are they front VW Heritage? I'm looking forward to hearing how much they improve your bay! :)
     
  10. They won`t improve the handling ..just remove what little travel there is .....Tubs is the only real way to go low and keep reasonable travel or run air ride

    Front and rear for that cost, I presume?

    There's a massive thread on prototype bay, which @Ozziedog and @67westy have had a big input... 1am I finished reading it this morning!! needless to say, I'm also a few £££s lighter now.

    That prototype bay thread is wall to wall with the same story.... bought TH spindles, they're too low, bottom out, etc. then buy Gaz Coilovers and everyone's happy.

    Needs a Forum sticky :D

    Or we can just keep directing them over to it, for summat to do maybe ;)
    With these shocks, and I only did the front, I`ve not completely eliminated it but I must bottom out three or four times a year as opposed to three or four times per hour. Makes it driveable now.

  20. I went from cringing every time I saw a bump in the road to not having to worry about it. Much nicer to drive now!

    I very occasionally get some tyre rub if its really bumpy and i'm moving relatively quickly.
