You can’t

 

Get it lower than a whale turd! needs bags!

 

With all that space - once you’ve utilised it and fit all your gear in - it’ll lower itself

 

@crossy2112
Too expensive

 

I don’t want it lowered but one of those bus air entry’s might be handy andy

 

It's only 2 good tarmac jobs

 

...and a couple of OAP re-roofs

 

Lay frame... go hard or go home!!

Actually, you could body drop most of it with a skillsaw

 

Brilliant

Don’t lower it, it’ll look Marmitee

Once you get in with your tarmac it’ll be low enough

 

Looks like its gonna be finished pretty soon. Work looks great so far.

50mm lowering spring will be more than enough as it'll weigh a fair bit more than a stock T3 panel van/minibus/camper so will go lower.
Avoid the cheap JK springs as it'll go even lower at the back than 50mm if you use their 50mm springs.

Have a look on Brickwerks site: https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/t3-tuning/performance-suspension/springs-and-dampers.html
Not gonna be cheap to do if you go with the quality stuff though. I've driven a mates multivan with their Bilstein kit on and it was rode like a modern car and was much easier to control. Nearly £600 though.

 

Are those wheels off a blue star multi van?

 

Standard alloys off the carat/multivan etc but also offered as an expensive option on most vans since the mid 80's.

 

You must know this place
