Hi!

That looks really nice, i like that a lot. As for the stance, it looks pretty good as is, but how about horse shoe plates on the rear? Would that be a another option. One of the guys on here is doing theses plates for £110 IIRC

AFAIK, no camber change with drop plates, but would adjustable spring plates give you camber? You dont wanna be wearing out your new hoops!

When you lower your bus, i wonder if people actually change the ride height once they have changed it? So would say, a 2" drop on horseshoes be ok, or are you thinking of going lower?

Cheers!

i did look into the horse shoe plates, i pm'd the guy on here who selling them, think why i didnt go for them was cause my van is droped by 1 spline on the back and for the horseshoe plates to work the van needs to be standard height.
i dont want to go stupid low, just want to get the back down level with the front.
it's a bit racked at the moment.

the sprints are boss.... 8)

i wasnt aware that you had to be standard height for horse-shoe plates? (you may need to notch the chassis if you go lower than 5 inches) but id never heard this before :|

wheels look great, i fitted the horseshoe plates, mine had been lowered 2 splines at the rear, just readjust the springplates back to standard and whack the horseshoe plates on at the same time, mine was mega cambered before but great now and its a very similar height, slightly higher if anything
 
Cool van, nice stance :D

-off topic- my van with horse shoe plates and 195-65-15 tires:
