What did you do to your van today?

Post by the swan fiend »

I think they are. They look spot on mate. I’m thinking about a set myself one day.
It may say on the rear of one of the spokes maybe?

EDIT: just had a look on google images, they’re definitely not venoms. Whatever they are, they look the dogs

Hey, how does that system drive in comparison to stock suspension? Got about 600 quid sat in vanstyle basket and still need to get my van lowered too... Hoping to get it all for 1k.

I actually didn't notice a major difference to be honest, it drives alot better than I expected, thought it would be terrible from what I was reading but it's pretty good for the money, I'd recommend it to anyone on a budget and wants it lowered.

It’s very similar to buying a new mattress for your bed really. Lol. I run v-max fronts and thought they weren’t to bad for the money then I’ve just changed to ST-X coilovers and there is a substantial difference in the ride. You get what you pay for really with coilovers.
