I sell loads of it, decent kit.
NOt as fancy as H&R but good never the less.
Springs were modelled on standard -30mm springs, then made lower.
90% of my customers own campervans, so the -50mm was set up for them.
-70mm is right at the edge of the camber adjustment, so as low as you can go sensibly without issues.
Still a very comfortable, compliant ride, works great with Bilstein B4 dampers.

Simon, since me are talking suspension here, I was wondering if your longer rear shocks would work on a stock hight syncro? And how do they compare to stock shocks? Oh and is there an equivalent for the front?

I think one of Mike Plompen (www.busban.be) contacts is working on the fronts.

I can have the dampers made to any length, if you want them stock height it is no problem. Postage is, they are heavy!

Thanks! Yes i know mike is planning some for the front, Will see what i end up doing. I currently have "van-magnum"s (I think i heard something about them somewere, but i can't find it). Both rears are shot (second one died today), and fronts are worn. Got a price for original shocks from the dealer, about 550£ for a set!

The originals are made by Sachs/Boge I have a set on the shelf, you can compare them, the only difference being that the original parts numbers are embossed (stamped) and the aftermarket ones are stickers.
Sachs/Boge are about £200 a set! bit of a difference for the same thing!

I'm not really a fan of the van magnums, I prefer the ride of the Sachs items, but we are all different!

I am told that the Old man Emu dampers are actually Monroe (Van magnum) bodies as no one makes the syncro dampers on the aftermarket so the OME's are just valved for them and they don't actually make them.
i also seem to think, and I admit that it is a long toke since I fitted a set is that they are no longer than the standards.
The trick we use here is to use 2WD front springs, nice and soft for off road, nice and cheap and give a lift of 20mm or so, but the front dampers tend to "Top out" and become noisey over speed humps, we use a small sleeve over the piston rod of around 8mm in height ti reduce this affect.
