T4's have torsion bars at the front, so you just wind them down. At the back there is a separate spring/damper set up. You replace the springs with shorter ones (also the dampers if you are going down a long way).
No Matter where you go, there you are.

Hi, think about what your carrying or gonna carry in the rear before lowering.
If your doing a camper conversion, or adding extra seats for passengers in the back then best bet would be a 45mm drop from Eibach springs and slim top rubber shim.
They are heavy duty springs that are really worth the money if you don't want the van bottoming out and banging.
