**sen** · Monday 21st September 2009, 09:10

I am thinking about upgrading my suspension on the t5 any advice on what to go for and where to buy. I would be lowering her but not silly lowering around 40 mm i am thinking. Has anybody had coilover kits on there t5?

Eibach's are good springs, and will lower your car by about 40mm, if that's as low as your wanting to go then I wouldn't bother with coilovers...

The wife's come down with the lurgy so I've been awake half the night, not really a good idea to be driving a truck all day if you've had no sleep,lol....

Personally, I'd go with Eibachs and Bilsteins.
