Finally managed to locate some lowered rear springs for the SC. Due to turn up in next few days. A UK company managed to get these imported and cost all in was under £100.

These should lower the van about 25mm and i'll get the torsion bars adjusted to suit, watch this space for a report and pics and i'll post the suppliers details too...

Bugger.... well, had em fitted.... they fit spot on..... but don't lower the bus a mm.... in fact we think its sitting slightly higher.... they are upgraded and a little stiffer, so thats great... but not what i wanted....

So they'll need to come off and be replaced, but if anyone needs a set of upgraded rear springs i know where they come from... just hope he'll take em back..

In the meantime i took the old spring to be measured and am getting a custom set made, lower the van about 40mm, which is half the height at the moment....
