VW T5 Coilovers

[BilsteinB14VWT5]

Even with 20" wheels the Bilstein B14 ride comfort is impressive. We had a german wheelspecialist to develop suitable 20" wheels espec. for T5 and T6 which should offer the following facts :
-no contact to all type of sliding doors
-strength : a realistic TÜV-approved wheel load of 875kg
-...but light !! 13,1kg the deep concave 9x20" !! and 13,9kg the front wheel
- cool design which demonstrates the strength and lightness of the wheel
- made for the OE VW T5 /T6 fitting system
- no wheelspacers should be necessary
- suitable also for the bigger VW T5/T6 brake
- the one and only offsets which makes sense
- for the T5 they can be installed without any extra work at the car - no contact front + rear
- for the T6 also , but we recommend 5mm steering (spacers) 5mm, without these steering "spacers" , only the minimum possible extra work at the inner plastic fender.

Love our Bilstein B14 that I fitted in our new T5.1 a few years back . If there was one criticism it would be because of our lousy roads here in parts of Australia Queensland in particular , ours has bottomed out a couple of times when encountering a depression in the road at say 100 kmh it does give a bang on the offside when it happens but I expect some trade off . Comfort and ride otherwise is great and the van looks good on the road , couple with koya 18 inch wheels its a nice ride , oh its not used for commercial use it's our family runabout to carry our disabled daughter and the occasional caming trip with a few Moto Cross bikes .

Is that van silver or white?
I am looking to buy a silver T5 this week
I like the decals you put on yours
Can you recall where they came from

Pure white van with a brushed alloy vinyl wrap between the black stripes , sadly no longer on the van as there was a problem with the vinyl not adherring into some curves it was a faulty batch . I decide to remove it and leave the van white again , originally I wanted the wrap to be chrome but decided it might be a distraction and would mark easily . I got them done by a friend who has been in the sign business for many years , the fault was nothing to do with his workmanship just a faulty product . Plenty of sign business can do the same job as its a common thing on cars these days , you can buy some DIY kits from the UK .You can get some ideas from this site .VW Transporter large graphics kits | street-race.org - high quality car stickers, car decals and vehicle graphics

The B14's will allow between a 40-70mm drop compared to the standard height.
