    Visited the guys at Transporter HQ a couple of weeks ago now to get the Eibach 35-40mm Sport Comfort set fitted. I was worried at first as I didn't think the ride was too bad on OEM springs and didn't want a harsh ride, how wrong I was ! Having the sport comfort set fitted has totally changed the way the van drives for the better, handling is massively improved and dare I say a tiny bit more economical on fuel too. Plus it looks loads better from that little bit extra drop and levels out the camper conversion.

    Hi guys had my van lowered by you with springs you recommended . Must say not the cheapest but was the right call you do get what you pay for . Cheap coil overs are a waist of money

    Great video 👍. I'm looking to lower my van now while I save for a full camper conversion. If I went for B14's would there be enough adjustment in them for the future to remove the rear end sag of the conversion. Not looking to go really low, more of a sportline ish look just a nice even arch gap and not like the van is on stilts 😂

    • @THQAutomotive
      @THQAutomotive  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes totally. B14's are great for this and fitted to many full campers

    Hi guys, great vlog, I absolutely love what you guys do.Always a bit embarrassed to ask about this kind of information. I’ve got a 2018 plated California Beach and was unsure what direction I should go with the suspension as I’ve been told it’s a slightly different setup to other campers or VW Transporters. I know you have worked on a California in the past so any recommendations would be great ! Cheers.

    • @THQAutomotive
      @THQAutomotive  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Paul, your Cali will be the same unless you have DCC? (dynamic chassis control) if so we have an option for this too.

    Bought a set not cheap at all but I’m hoping they will outlast the speed bumps here in London. Easy enough to fit , I would say this tho the bottom rubber on the van is not a great fit to the larger coils... do they do an upgrade ?... think it would be good.

    • @THQAutomotive
      @THQAutomotive  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The bottom rubber should be fine all be it tight. The genuine lower rubbers do wear a lot though. We are currently working on an improved stronger lower spring rubber.
