many thanks and hope to see the pics tomorrow,

as to your post about having 15's on and they do sit low nearly on the front arches from what my memory serves me correctly
the back was low but wasnt low enough maybe due to the fact they hadnt bedded in yet

pal my vans on 60/40 hatch springs on 14s and it takes the pish i slam all my cars had a polo on coilovers 120mm and the van doesn't take it well in comparison, i guarantee u will have to do at least one strut top bearing straight away they do not like to be disturbed since i dropped mine 5 month ago i have replaced the driver side bearing 3 times and its a jaffa removing the strut and iv been using gm parts, it will not do any sort of speed bumps gm splitter is like 1" from the ground . but it does look dam sweet so i put up with it

 

[slamvanjack]
