 Slight change, not lowered anymore, new springs and aftermarket arches. Drives a lot nicer now and no more crashing over pot holes and speed bumps .

Van looks better raised back up, i,m getting mine put back to standard as part of the MOT work (rusted rear suspension arms ) Can i ask where you got the arch covers from and are they any good.
I like the look of them but am worried they may promote rust. Thanks |

 Hi Gman , got the arches of the bay of fleas, sold from a company called Maxchrome for £59.00 . My van arches are solid so I am not trying to cover anything up , just like the look without paying for the Syncro style ones. I have covered the van arches up with wax oil to try and keep the rust at bay, but will take the covers off after winter to just check and clean. |

Hi
The quality is very good, and they fit very well. I was going to pop rivet them on but decided to use small self tappers. I drilled small holes then used vactan then paint to stop the dreaded rust . My reason for doing it this way is so I can take them off to clean and check etc...they do come with metal strips which you are supposed to bend and fit to your existing arch ( no drilling holes ) but I didn't use like this method I know there are small holes in the lip of my arches but I am going to keep it this way so it won't be an issue for me. The only modification I had to do was around the rear bumper, where it touches the new arch. A couple of pics, one before and after Barry

I love the Synchro look you've got going. What springs are you using and what tyre size? |
