Hi all, Ive been restoring my vw t25/vanagon over here in the UK and ive lowered it with the h&r green springs with bilstein b8 shocks. I'd like some wheel ideas as it seems not many lower these vans like the splittys or baywindows. Let's see your vans today as they are and what you've done to lower them. pfa

I have the same (Bilstein B shocks/(H&R Green) springs as you on a DOKA. Since it’s lighter, it sists a little higher than a bus. I’m running Porsche knock-off wheels (Cup I).

Not mine, this one belongs/belonged to local guy El Sabroso but I have not seen or heard from him in a while. Think he used H&R springs.

I think thats because Vanagons are WAY harder to get really low than a Split/Bay. It truly takes a lot of work.
Here's a photo of mine from a 3000mi roadtrip I just got back from.
