Do you want to give us an idea who you have contacted and what you are looking for?

I know a few companies in the UK but the shipping cost could break the bank...

Tell us exactly what you have been looking for and I will ask around.

You can email the details if you want.

I have recently replaced my 200,000 km original suspension with kw v1 from TPR engineering. Chris Preen - Preen59 on here supplied them.

At the same time I did the strut top mounts.

It's a pretty phenomenal change in handling and would choose it again.

Same KW V1 for me on my 09 Caravelle, I bought my KW kit from the UK not knowing about TPR.
Huge improvement over stock as mikinoz said, I've just come back from a 5600KM trip to the NT, the roads were crap from all of the rain earlier in the year so I was a bit apprehensive about the KW gear standing up to it but it survived with no issues.
Do the replacement strut top mounts give you camber adjustment & who makes them?

Hi Rob

I'm looking for slightly lowered struts or some decently priced coilovers not fussed.

What is your Van model?

There are two models of struts dont want to get price on wrong ones.

Are you in a mad rush for them or could you wait a month for delivery?

I might be able to stick them in a personal effects (migrating) container..
