hello, i have a partner van on a 06 reg, and would like it lowered, i am next to useless at stuff like this, is it a easy task? im a joiner so my skills are no good when it comes to cars and vans!
im based in the northeast near whitby/middlesbrough area, does anybody know of someone who would take this task on? thanks

RickyP RPM in Barnsley will fit the front suspention and lower the rear to suit for £200 IIRC Peugeot 306 struts and springs or coilovers fit BTW.

Ha, why?
Boy racer?
Are you intending to race? If so, get another car.

The "better looking" bit is subjective, but it's your van - why not make it exactly how you want to see it?
Also, don't be afraid of the rear subframe; there's a good change its pivot pins are shot already so you might look at killing two birds with one stone - rebuild a donor unit with suspsension drop, and change it over.

My window looks out onto a road with speed bumps, very entertaining watching the boy racers scrape the bumps.

Ok. That's a good reason.

Costs less; not so practical.
There is one issue with the front lowering - it will stress the "P" bushes differently and may result in them not lasting so well. A bit of recalculation on the installation angle with a replacement set, should sort it.
