Lower front end

Hi

I'm NOT planning on doing this but I've noticed that a lot of VW T4 owners lower only the front end of their vans, how would that look on a bongo? All the bongos I've seen are lowered equally, front and rear.

Any thoughts?

it would (IMO) look about the same as it does on a t4...stoooopid! and pointless.

I wondered if it would also affect the handling or alternatively mean that load carrying in the back would be better.

Personally I prefer the normal ride height given the state of the roads etc.

Now i do like the head down ass up stance to be honest and i was contemplating doing this conversion to my bongo

I'm tending toward the "head up my own arse" stance ATM.

I lowered my Bongo about 3 months ago. We did the front first & it did look quite interesting

It isn't going to do much for the steering geometry.

I think he meant with the front only lowered

Pretty sure both ends are lowered on mine........ Lime green springs.. (Mazda Sport?)

But this is what it looks like....

Pretty uncomfortable but look good and it does go round corners well......
