Firstly, hello from the Hunter Valley in Australia. Secondly, I came here because I’m interested in camper vans and then incredibly I find out you have MX5‘s. I say incredibly because not only do I own 4 campers, 4x4 Mitsubishi L300s which are approximately the same size as your VW, but I also own 4 MX5‘s. I used to think that camper vans and small sports cars were an odd combination to own/collect, but apparently not, lol. I love your VW van. You have done a great job with the work that you’ve done it. I really enjoyed the video. I have now subscribed. Thank you.

Hi Mack, Thanks for the comments, it was lowered on something like 70mm lowered springs, but the ride was terrible, then i found out that the front was sitting on the bump stops, so I cut them down which improved the ride, but I noticed that it started to get even lower on the front over the next few months, until eventually it was back on the bump stops again. So basically the springs were knackered and sagged, so I've now fitted 50mm drop AVO springs, its higher than when this video was made, but man the ride is sooooo much better!!!
