It is a complete kit that includes everything you need to raise the van 4cm. By ordering the entire kit at once, the price is more advantageous. It includes the following: 4 shims for the 25mm springs 4 shims for the shock absorbers (specify the thread pitch or brand of the front ones) 4 CV joint shims with the longest screws in 12-9 quality 2 angular shims for the ball joints, with 12-9 quality screws The assembly instructions are in the box of each component
When ordering, please leave a message with your desired height. There are 10, 15, and 25mm for the front and 15 and 25 for the rear. Keep in mind that you have to multiply the size of the riser by 1.5 to know how much the body will rise, so the 15mm rises about an inch, and the 25mm rises about 4cm… If you can’t find the option you’re looking for, or need a custom one, send an email to slowworks.vans@gmail.com
They are purchased individually. They include one supplement, six longer bolts with the same hardness as the originals, and six AET washers like the originals. This is for all of us who lift vans, whether or not they have a Syncro. As you know, many problems arise when lifting a van: shock absorbers, CV joints, inertia, stability, braking... some are easy to solve, while others are difficult and costly. It's quite common, when lifting a van, for a driveshaft to fail over time. Why? Well, for several reasons: - The first is that it no longer operates at its usual angle, but rather we force it to operate at a wider angle, closer to the limit, so on curves, roundabouts, potholes... the CV joint can bottom out and "eat" the ball raceways. Unfortunately, the only way to change the operating angle is to install new CV joints. The standard T3 and 14" Syncro wheels have a working angle of 17º. The only way to increase it would be to fit the Porsche 924-944 wheels, which are equivalent and also have a 22º angle... although it's a bit of an expensive solution. The second reason is that when we lift them, we stretch the axle shafts. If you've ever had a CV joint nearby, you'll have seen that they move in and out. This is to absorb the up and down movements of the wheel. What happens? If we lift the van, we shorten the travel, and when the wheel comes down, it hits the stop immediately... We solve all this with CV joint shims.
When assembling the spring supplements, we noticed that the upper arm was too inclined, and when lifting the van, either with supplements or with longer springs, it quickly adopts an angle that is too sharp. This can be corrected with angular supplements between the arm and the ball joint. Choose whether they are for 2WD or Syncro, because the screws are different. See PDF below. On some internet pages you can find straight supplements. The main difference is that the straight ones do not correct the working angle of the ball joints, so when working in extension they come to a stop and end up gaining slack in a few hundred km…
They are used to make use of the shock absorbers you already have when lifting the van. They are removed, screwed onto the top of the shock absorbers and re-assembled. This way you avoid them reaching the limit of extension and breaking. There are three different threads. Choose yours below.
Like the front ones, they are used to use the shock absorbers you already have when lifting the van. They are placed between the arm and the shock absorber and raise the position 4cm so that they do not end up breaking when extended. They are used for models from T2B and T3/T25. From now on, the parts will be zinc plated, instead of painted, to completely prevent rust.
