How to Stop Your T5 / T6 Camper Sitting Lower at the Rear | Transporter HQ

[@drummer755]

Visited the guys at Transporter HQ a couple of weeks ago now to get the Eibach 35-40mm Sport Comfort set fitted. I was worried at first as I didn't think the ride was too bad on OEM springs and didn't want a harsh ride, how wrong I was ! Having the sport comfort set fitted has totally changed the way the van drives for the better, handling is massively improved and dare I say a tiny bit more economical on fuel too. Plus it looks loads better from that little bit extra drop and levels out the camper conversion.

[@THQAutomotive]

Hi Jake, thanks for your feedback. Glad you're pleased.

[@colinemerson2863]

Hi guys had my van lowered by you with springs you recommended . Must say not the cheapest but was the right call you do get what you pay for . Cheap coil overs are a waist of money

[@THQAutomotive]

Glad you're please Colin 😊

[@simonvanellis2945]

Thanks for this, just got a T6 shorty T32, drives way more bouncy than my old t4, think I’ll save my pennies for the Bilsteins then.

[@THQAutomotive]

Glad to help

[@markbarnard7219]

Great vid. Keeping us going in these tough times. Well done lads

[@THQAutomotive]

Thanks for your kind worlds. We have a few other videos we're working on at the minute.

[@brettmcgee8927]

I feel my pockets emptying every time I watch one of your videos.

[@THQAutomotive]

Haha, they're working then 🤭

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

I have a LWB T30 and sitting a little low after a convention. Would fitting Sportline springs to the front be an option of levelling.

[@THQAutomotive]

Sportline springs are 30mm. It would help for sure but it will still be lower at the back..

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Transporter HQ would it handle ok.

[@brettjo]

Great video. Will be in touch 👍

[@a1autoservices621]

Thanks boys , just seen your video and ordered a set rear springs for my California.

[@THQAutomotive]

Glad it helped. Thanks for your order. 😊

[@a1autoservices621]

My springs finally arrived , Friday , fitted them on Saturday and what a difference thy make , van sits perfect now 👍👍

[@comfortablynumb8832]

@@a1autoservices621 How much did garage quote you to fit? Mine wanted 450😂 so I fitted them myself

[@simongibbs8816]

Great video 👍. I'm looking to lower my van now while I save for a full camper conversion. If I went for B14's would there be enough adjustment in them for the future to remove the rear end sag of the conversion. Not looking to go really low, more of a sportline ish look just a nice even arch gap and not like the van is on stilts 😂

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes totally. B14's are great for this and fitted to many full campers

Hello a great video and a lot of information from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai

[@paulm.d3003]

Hi guys, great vlog, I absolutely love what you guys do.Always a bit embarrassed to ask about this kind of information. I’ve got a 2018 plated California Beach and was unsure what direction I should go with the suspension as I’ve been told it’s a slightly different setup to other campers or VW Transporters. I know you have worked on a California in the past so any recommendations would be great ! Cheers.

[@THQAutomotive]

Hi Paul, your Cali will be the same unless you have DCC? (dynamic chassis control) if so we have an option for this too.

[@paulm.d3003]

No DCC fitted, will have to come and have a chat and see what you.can suggest 👍

[@jamiepolson]

All the way through I was thinking air ride , let’s see that vid please 👍

[@THQAutomotive]

That might not be for a while now :(

[@drpipe]

Bought a set not cheap at all but I’m hoping they will outlast the speed bumps here in London. Easy enough to fit , I would say this tho the bottom rubber on the van is not a great fit to the larger coils... do they do an upgrade ?... think it would be good.

[@THQAutomotive]

The bottom rubber should be fine all be it tight. The genuine lower rubbers do wear a lot though. We are currently working on an improved stronger lower spring rubber.

[@matthewwood4117]

Finally! Thank you for this video, I’ve been worried about our rear end sagging! Are you still offering the free fitting on the rear lift springs? (Just noticed the video was a year old!)

[@THQAutomotive]

Hello, yes we still do free fitting on those only :)

[@drgrowuk8830]

Great video man 👍 Very helpful

[@richardwalker5906]

That's a shame! Cheers though for replying 👍

[@richardwalker5906]

Good information video guys!.. I remember when I called in to pick up my lights you talked about suspension for campers as I was wanting to try retaining standard ride height!! I'm still considering the bilstein set 35/40 with rear adjustables on, is it free fitting for these as well!.. cheers Rich

[@THQAutomotive]

Hello, its Eibach that are the 35/40mm springs. Sorry we can't do free fitting on those :(

Hi guys I know this is quite an old vid but I have a 2018 T6 California T30 with dcc what is my options to either level it up or drop it a little. Any suggestions would be great 👍🏻

Great video. Where does the “H&R 50mm Lowering Springs” sit in this range? It’s got a great description on your website but don’t think it was mentioned in this video

[@THQAutomotive]

If you carry weight in the back, H&R spring will make the rear sag worse.

@@THQAutomotive Ohh right thanks man!

[@lmuk17]

Is it better (for ride comfort and wear on suspension) to have B14’s all the way down or SoLows all the way up?

[@THQAutomotive]

Solow's all the way up

[@lmuk17]

Transporter HQ that’s what I thought but the comment about the spring being fully compressed on the Solow’s had me wondering! Thanks 👍🏻

[@philipwatson7883]

What model and size are the cooper tyres fitted the the swamper with raised suspension ?

Just had B14 today off you, didn’t realise you where in Leicester or would of taken advantage of the free fitting😏

Hi Guys, will Eibach Rear Lift Springs work on a T6.1 (T28) campervan conversion? There was some confusion/discussion on T6 forum last year regarding compatibility with T6.1s and TUV approval for them on T6.1? Thanks in advance.

[@bencavanagh5425]

Hi, great video. Need some advise on a t6 swb t32 4motion. Use the van for window cleaning. So has a 650 litre tank so around 750kg with frame work to rear of van. Had koni super active fitted with original t32 springs on them. Rear sits a lot lower. Also concerned about the weight. What advise can you give or say fit the Eibach levelling springs? Thanks very much .

[@THQAutomotive]

Hi Ben, you need adjustable coilovers. The level springs would make the back sit too high.

[@carldurrant9649]

Interesting. Does no-one offer a cheap spring spacer like the 4x4 guys often use? They're normally just a poly doughnut shape.

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes we sell these too. Its not ideal though as you still have an over compressed spring. Its a cheaper fix for looks but doesn't help the ride quality.

[@luciocancellara4995]

Quick question😀.. Noticed some vans at the front arches have slightly bigger gaps than at the rears... is this normal or should they be all same gap?

Its normal if there is more weight in the back

Is free fitting just on the b14s or on the eibach springs 2?

Sorry just of B14's, Solow's and the rear only spring options. Full spring sets are £150 fitting inc VAT.
