[Remon T2a]

I am busy right now lowering my van and want Mot before half of september zo lowering the back low budget 2 splines. But wil my standard shocks still fit then?

They will still fit, although they are often changed for stiffer shocks.

I ran my bus with a 2 spline drop with standard shocks for a good few years and yes they do tend to bottom out quite a bit , especially when loaded , but mot bloke was never bothered about it. Stiffer shorter shocks are better though as changed to these when the stock shocks finally gave in and they are much better

Mine is lowered equivalent of 2 splines with adjustable spring plates. Botomed out so fitted stock front bay shocks on back.
Perfect ever since.

what should be done is to remove your shocks, have all the weight in the van (interior,engine,gearbox etc) and then measure between the ecntre of the top and bottom shock bolt hole, this gives you a centre emasurement you want to fit in the range of travel of the shock you purchase.

with drop plates in the rear you can run the front shocks all the way around or basically bug rear all the way around.
