Lowered shocks !

Andy Brown · Sep 17, 2024

Evening guys, looking for opinions/experience’s on shocks for a lowered early bay.
It’s between the T2D Bilstein’s or Spax gas adjustable’s so far.
I’ll be changing front and rears.

Cheers guys

I cannot speak to the lowered bart of your question but I have been running on a set of the T2D Bilstein’s. Wish I had swapped out my old warn out ones years ago. I run standard height at the rear and slightly lower at the front. - I don't bottom out any more since switching to the Bilstein’s. I have a hump back bridge on a back road near me, I used to have to slow down, not any more Yeehaw!

I’ve got Bilsteins on the front of mine. They’ve made a huge difference to how my 68 drives vs the KYB’s on it before.

I have a brand new, unfitted but opened and handled (so have oily prints) full set for sale.

I brought them to fix my ride but found out my beam was at fault and I needed to keep the coilovers due to how it had been setup (see old post of mine from earlier this year)

These weren't even bolted to the van.

I'll see full set for £320 inc postage?

Open to offers. These are brand new.

Which set do you have as theres a few options?

Front. Eye to eye is 39cm (using my iPhone measure app as I can't find my measure)

Rear are 59cm (again using iPhone measure)

Thanks but it doesnt really help, do you know exactly what you ordered from them as there are 4 options

Standard Setup
Lowered with Adjusters (No drop spindles)
Lowered with Dropped Spindles (no Adjusters)
Lowered with Dropped Spindles and Adjusters

Sorry, I ordered over the phone and did it on length as mine had flipped and not dropped spindles.

The fronts must be the short version; lowered with dropped.

Rears are the middle length.

Worth measuring one’s own to be sure.

I’ve installed T2D all round and I think they are very good.
I called them and they directed me to which versions suited me best
