Hiya lads and lasses
Canada now finished, came back on Tuesday, job done under the time limit.
Anyway, i am now gonna spend some quality time with the family and also spend a bit of cash on the miggy.
I have already got the full Irmscher kit on, put in a rear electric blind, fitted a sat nav, fitted parking sensors, uprated to Bose, i have a full leather interior on its way, she is booked in for a remap, i will only gain approx another 15bhp from the 2.2 but who cares, she will be a unique GLS.
Can any of you recommend a lowering kit and a web page on where to purchase from, i dont want to really change the struts, just the springs.
Some say why spend all this money on her but she is a 2004 with only 38,000 on the clock and i intend to keep her until she gives up, i will never get the cash back. why do we do it??
Once the lowering kit is on she will be booked into WIM.
Anything else you guys can think of to upgrade her without touching the engine please let me know.

Did a bit of reading on those but dont know what to do, take it you wont be towing the van once lowered, my van is being sold soon.

The back end is already low, so new stiffer springs will help. Quite a few people tow with lowering springs
