HOW TO PROFESSIONALLY LOWER VW T4 SUSPENSION (by 100mm or more!)

This week we take our project VW T4 and absolutely slam it on the floor! How to lower your VW T4 the right way, just like the professionals do it!

We show you how to remove and 'clock' the front torsion bars, modify the front chassis rails to fit Shanes-Plates from Scarface Lowriders, fit shortened drop links and new front shock absorbers by Gaz.
At the rear we fit new 5" Faulkner springs, Powerflex shims and Gaz adjustable rear shocks. We keep everything in place with retaining before lowering the van down and cruising along the beach.
