Can recommend Springcoil, they made mine and fit perfectly. I went for 30mm drop and 25% uprated. These work well with my 17" wheels... the Bongo feels much more stable at speed and I can take corners better. Negotiating speed-bumps is fine too, I wouldn't go any lower than this though.

Can you post a pic of you van, and confirm the distance from the top of the wheel arches to the ground. I need to decide what drop to go for. Thanks

Thanks, I have put the picture on Photobucket but it still doesn't appear on the post, just the URL address?

Height to arches = 740mm/29" But bear in mind my wheel/tyre combination brings the van UP 10mm so with standard size wheels/tyres the measurement to arches will be 10mm less...

I can get hold of lowering springs from Japan but there not cheap expect to pay £200 for a set.
