I’ve got the SoLow LOW had it for a couple years now on my t5.1 and I absolutely love it. It’s a Kombi with a fortywinks in the back and it runs lush. Just love driving the van. It’s not a straight comparison but just a testament of the quality of this product range.

great video as usual👍, a couple of months ago I purchased the solow low suspension and navis 20" domes, the suspension is wound all the way down, I could not be any happier with the setup and it is an awesome ride considering how low the van is now, these look great for the heavier VW, THQ customer service amazing as well, (and no I do not work THQ just being honest🤙)

@@THQAutomotivewhat size are they 275? 265? and profile cos i see 15mm spacers? I’m just thinking thats all for myself as i am running 275/40/20 but think i need to widen the stance. Was going to either drop to a 35 profile or even a 255/35 from the 275?

@THQAutomotive 2 ай бұрын

@@leekemp1180 275/40 is a terrible size tyre. Far too hard and will rub. 15mm spacers on Dan Van because the Rotiform STL is a narrower wheel and not the perfect offset. With Solow NXT Plus, 265/40 is the perfect size tyre.

Need to replace my factory original dempers. They are done. My ride: 2012 T5 Cali Ocean + Michelin CROSS CLIMATE 2 255/45R18 103Y EXTRALOAD on 18" VW Springfield wheels. It is our daily commuter. Would love to lower it a bit and improve ride comfort. Was looking at the NSL but in doubt after watching this NXT+ video. Or completely different set? What would be your guidance?

I want to fit these to my t5 is it worth replacing all the front and rear suspension bushes with Polly bushes first,or just standard rubber bushings. Another concern is the front and rear camber how would you adjust it as I don't want to be replacing tyres every few thousand miles,also do you have to fit shorter ar links thank you.

@THQAutomotive Ай бұрын

I would 100% fit our heavy duty rear spring rubbers. I wouldn't both with camber adjustable bushes. They are expensive and take a lot of time to install. As this kit doesn't go crazy low, they camber adjustment the vehicle has it enough.

Recently got some SoLows. Best suspension ive had on a t5/t6! My one big problem with them is the front adjustment. The silver threaded sleeve just spins when trying to adjust the height collar. I cant see that theres anyway to counter hold it? Ive read others in comments sections with the same issue but never seen a resolution. Am I being stupid or is this just a design whoopsy?

I live in my LWB T5 and looking to upgrade from Bluebird trashed coils which are slammed, these look low enough and just what I'm after, does that mean the real low so lows are not the best for loaded up campers? Ill check out local intallers for Hampshire.

@THQAutomotive 2 ай бұрын

Lows can work for a camper yes. If you want the ultimate in comfort though, you want a longer travel damper. The NXT Plus would be better if you are happy with the drop these vans have.

It's about 60mm, you could go slightly lower. If you want much lower than this, then the Solow NSL would be the way to go.

@@xxnickthegreekxx I've tried that H&R koni kit and thought it was nothing more than average. The knocking is more likely to be an installation error. Speak to one of the Solow approved installers. They'll take a look and diagnose for you. solowsuspension.com/solow-installer-network/
