I already spoke to Tony at Ground Control about the van, and he said they ran into troubles with doing coil overs for the van. (ie: no shocks available in North America to accept the much increased spring rate to allow the van to be lowered with coil overs)
The rear is also a non-coilover set-up, that requires a stand-alone spring, and seperate shock.
Shocks are made for our van by Ennepetal out of Japan. (specially valved Bilsteins shocks) but they are BRUTALLY expensive at over $2000 US plus shipping.!!
I dunno, but in all practicality, I'd find coil overs on my van now way too excessive.
(I have Zeal B6 coil overs in my S13, and GAB Super R's with Ground Controls in my 3 Rotor RX7, and of course coil overs in my race cars, and in all honesty, my RX7 and 240SX are no longer good daily driven cars. The ride quality is absolutely terrible, and I just could not subject my pregnant wife to a bone jarring ride to and from the store.
A slammed van looks cool, but I sure have grown accustomed to the nice drive to work each morning, coffee in the cup holder, A/C on, and smooth transitions over road work and speed bumps.
Nemogira: I've almost given up on H&R. I'm tired of the usual "2 weeks away" answer I keep getting. I mean I'll get the springs when they arrive, but I'm not counting my chickens for this summer for them to arrive.
