What would you like to know mate?, a mate a I fitted the fronts, im running airlift v2 peformance front struts still have arb, I still need to mess around with the damping tbh, I think it's a bit boaty at the minute, or that's maybe me not used to air :lol:
The rear was a whole different ball game, unit sixteen in Newton aycliffe did the rear, my main problem was my own fault really, as I was wanting 20" wheels and to get them to tuck under the back arches, so I had to get a caddy maxi rear axle, and shorten it by 20mm, we ended up removing the leaf springs and making custom arms coming from where the front of the leaf Spring was attached, then welded a couple of stays from that to the axle making everything fairly solid, seems to be ok, just need to get interior done so I can do some miles now :lol:

I eventually got round to getting the auto dimming Touran mirror to work, with the help of Stan the man :D

Then I decided I need some sounds, so I fitted focal coaxle speakers in the rear to match the focal components in the front. I then went for Rockford fosgate punch amps, which I attached to rear seat, also installed 2x Rockford fosgate punch 10" slim subs, trying to keep all stealth, not succeeding very well

Had the vmr's on for a while and really liked them only thing I would change them for is a set of 20's, so I traveled to the other side of the country for these rotiform spf's.

I thought van sat a little high on the kW's on there lowest setting so I turned to the dark side.
