JN3n Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) I want to lower and put on 18" wheels. Where do I look for suspension kits ? I could have the suspension parts made but am too lazy to do all the work. Handling was spelled wrong in title. My Bad..

zepper Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The Euros are putting in shorter sport focus front suspensions on. The only way to lower the rear is to cut and reweld the axle so that it is ABOVE the leaf springs, thus lowering the rear end a whoping 3". Looks good though. Check the pix on fordtransit.org. Unfortunately you'll be the guinea pig over here. I don't know of anyone who has done it over here besides the HR suspension company.

Leprechaun Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 In the UK forum there is an article with several pics and step-by-step for lowering a TC for small investment and half a day's labor: http://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=73896&hilit=lowering Before and after pics make me wonder if we all are going to go this route!

azdamay Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Could just be the low-quality pics, or parked on a slope, but that Transit looks like it is sitting notably higher in the front. That actually looks worse, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollowwood Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This Low? Cute it may be,but, practical it is not.The photo would make me believe that the suspension would have to be restricted so as not to hit the underside of the fender. :headscratch:I doubt the ride then would be too great. And, a pot holed city street or country road would make short work of the under side of the TC. Great show car though!:camera:My thought would be to go the other way for back road use and larger tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
