    Multivan with 19's and 40mm lowering springs

    It took a while but I’ve finally got the 19” rims on the Multivan and lowered it using H&R springs. The springs have only been in a week and at this stage the ride height has dropped about 25-30mm in front and 40-45mm at the rear.

    to this.

    Looks much better not having the backend jacked up so much and the ground clearence is still very practical.

    No rubbing problems at all, the front has heaps of room, the rear has about 5-10mm gap on the inner guard and about a 2mm gap to the interior trim when you open the sliding doors

    Tyres are Hankook K110s - 245/45R19 102 load rated on the front and 275/40R19 105 load rated rear. They are an extra reinforced tyre and not cheap

    Excellent work, would you be able to post a rear on shot to show the width with 10" rims and tyres.
