Searching for a good quality coilover kit that improves handling and gives a decent drop without ruining the ride quality? You've come to the right place.
A question we see that get asked a lot online is- What is the best value for money Coilover Suspension kit for a VW Transporter T5 or Transporter T6?
At Stance+ we have a comprehensive range of ride height adjustable Coilover Suspension Kits to suite all VW Transporter T5/T5.1 and Transporter T6/T6.1 models. Including the T26/T28/T30 and T32 models.
For over 10 Years we have been designing and developing coilovers that are specifically designed for UK roads and everyday use. Our coilover kits offer a huge range of lowering from 30mm to 150mm without compromising ride quality.
Our Stance+ Street kits are by far the most popular and suit all models of Transporter including the Transporter T5/T5.1 T26/T28/T30 and the T32. We also offer the same range for Transporter T6/T6.1 T26/T28/T30 and T32. For a more extreme drop take a look at our Stance+ Proline range.
Stance+ has been the stance brand of choice for over 10 years, we have thousands of customers that run our kits daily, perfect for the daily commute or ideal for weekend shows. Run the van moderately low or slammed for a photoshoot or car meet, our kits allow a drop between 30mm to 150mm on most applications.
VW Transporter T5/T5.1 and Transporter T6/T6.1 Coilovers: Go low without giving up every day ride comfort.
The VW Transporter is more than a van. For thousands of UK owners, the Transporter T5 and T6 models are daily drivers, workhorses, camper conversions and show builds rolled into one. That means a suspension upgrade cannot simply look good—it must perform properly on real roads, with real loads, in everyday conditions.
That is exactly why we developed the Stance+ range of dedicated VW Transporter coilovers.
Stance+ Street Coilovers for everyday road use and either Stance+ Proline Fixed Damping or Stance+ Proline Adjustable Damping for Ultra low cruising.
Designed and engineered in the UK, our Transporter kits combine improved body control, dependable everyday comfort and some of the most extreme lowering ranges available at their price point. Whether you want a practical daily-driven drop or a seriously low show-van stance, there is a Stance+ kit to suit your build.
Trusted by Transporter enthusiasts for over 10 years
Our journey with the Transporter platform began after customers told us they wanted something the market was not delivering: a good-quality, sensibly priced coilover kit that could lower a Transporter T5 or T6 significantly without making it unpleasant to drive.
Development took more than a year, followed by extensive testing on our own VW Transporter T6 project van. We ran that van at approximately 100mm lower at the front and 85mm at the rear, proving that a dramatic drop could still work in real-world use.
Since then, Stance+ has become the suspension brand of choice for thousands of Transporter owners. Our kits have been used on daily drivers, commercial vans, Kombis, Caravelles, camper conversions and award-winning show builds throughout the UK.
More than 10 years later, the formula remains the same: strong components, carefully matched spring and damper rates, useful ride-height adjustment and outstanding value.
Why Stance+ Coilovers work so well on UK roads
British roads place very particular demands on suspension. Potholes, broken surfaces, speed humps, uneven B-roads and constantly changing cambers quickly expose a poorly matched setup.
Simply fitting very stiff springs may reduce body movement, but it can also make a van crashy and tiring to drive. Stance+ kits are developed as complete spring-and-damper packages, with damping rates selected for the weight and suspension geometry of the Transporter.
Compared with tired factory suspension, a correctly installed Stance+ kit provides:
- Reduced body roll through corners and roundabouts
- Better control during braking and direction changes
- A more planted, confidence-inspiring feel
- Adjustable ride height rather than a fixed drop
- Improved wheel-arch fitment and overall stance
- A controlled ride suitable for regular everyday use
Our dampers are uprated to improve control without losing sight of comfort. This makes Stance+ particularly well suited to owners who use their vans every day but still want sharper handling and a noticeably lower appearance.
Stance+ Street Coilovers: The everyday all-rounder
The Stance+ Street kit is the ideal starting point for owners who want a big visual transformation, improved handling and excellent value.
Offering approximately 30–120mm of ride-height adjustment on most applications, the Street kit has considerably more lowering potential than many conventional Transporter kits. It can be set at a sensible height for year-round daily use or adjusted much lower for a more aggressive stance.
The kit combines uprated, oil-filled dampers with matched high-tensile springs. Damping is approximately 25–30% firmer than standard, helping to control the Transporter’s weight and reduce the wallowing or excessive body roll often associated with factory van suspension.
Key Street kit features include:
- Approximately 30–120mm adjustable lowering
- Uprated oil-filled dampers
- FUCH damper oil for consistent operation
- Short, hardened chrome piston rods
- High-tensile, powder-coated springs
- Built-in elastomer bump stops
- Helper springs for controlled suspension movement
- Strong powder-coated steel construction
- Dual anodised aluminium locking collars
- Two-year unlimited-mileage warranty
The Street kit is an excellent choice for commuters, tradespeople, camper owners and enthusiasts who want their Transporter to sit properly while remaining usable throughout the week.
It is available for T5/T5.1 and T6/T6.1 Transporter applications, including suitable T26, T28, T30 and T32 variants. Model compatibility must always be checked before ordering, as front-strut fitment and axle requirements can differ.

Stance+ Proline Fixed Damping: comfort and control at an extreme ride height
For owners who want to go substantially lower, the Stance+ Proline Fixed Damping kit represents a major step forward.
Its defining feature is the base-adjustable front strut. On a conventional coilover, lowering is generally achieved by moving the spring platform farther down a fixed-length damper body. At more extreme settings, this can reduce available damper travel and compromise the ride.
The Proline design works differently. The complete front strut can be physically shortened or lengthened to set the ride height. This allows the piston rod to retain its full working travel at every height setting.
That means you can achieve a more extreme drop while giving the suspension the travel it needs to absorb bumps and control the van properly.
The Proline Fixed Damping kit offers:
- Approximately 40–150mm front lowering
- Approximately 40–120mm rear lowering
- Base-adjustable front struts
- Full piston-rod travel throughout the adjustment range
- Fixed damping approximately 25–30% above standard
- Gas-assisted, oil-filled FUCH dampers
- High-quality NOK oil seals
- Monotube rear damper technology
- Application-specific spring and damper tuning
- Dual anodised aluminium locking collars
- Two-year unlimited-mileage warranty
The fixed damping has already been selected to balance sharper response with day-to-day usability. It is ideal for drivers who want Proline technology and a seriously low stance without needing to adjust the damping themselves.
Separate Proline kits are available for T26/T28/T30 and T32 models. This is important because T32 Transporters use a different bolt-on front-strut arrangement and require suspension engineered for the heavier platform.

Stance+ Proline Adjustable Damping: complete control over your setup
The Proline Adjustable Damping kit sits at the top of the Stance+ Transporter range.
It combines the extreme lowering capability and base-adjustable front-strut design of the Proline Fixed kit with 20-point adjustable damping. This allows you to fine-tune the suspension from softer to firmer without removing the kit from the van.
A softer setting can provide greater compliance for daily driving and long-distance touring, while a firmer setting offers increased body control for fast-road use, larger wheel and tyre combinations or a more focused enthusiast setup.
Proline Adjustable features include:
- Approximately 30–150mm adjustable lowering on most applications
- Base-adjustable front struts
- Full piston-rod travel at every ride height
- 20-point adjustable damping
- Gas-assisted, oil-filled dampers
- High-tensile chrome-silicon springs
- Shot-peened and powder-coated spring construction
- Dual anodised locking rings
- Application-specific T26/T28/T30 and T32 versions
- Dual anodised aluminium locking collars
- Two-year unlimited-mileage warranty
This is the kit for owners who want maximum control. You can choose the ride height, tune the damping to suit your van and change the settings as your build evolves.

Which Stance+ Transporter Coilover Suspension Kit should you choose?
Choose the Stance+ Street Coilover kit if you want a cost-effective daily-use upgrade with a wide lowering range, noticeably better body control and enough adjustment to create a dramatic stance.
Choose the Stance+ Proline Fixed Damping Coilover Kit if extreme lowering is the priority and you want the ride-quality advantages of a base-adjustable front strut with a professionally selected fixed damping rate.
Choose the Stance+ Proline Adjustable Damping Coilover Kit if you want the most complete package, including extreme lowering and the ability to fine-tune the ride from softer to firmer.
Whichever option you select, make sure you order the correct kit for your Transporter’s generation, weight classification and front suspension fitting. T26, T28 and T30 models generally use a clamp-type front arrangement, while the heavier T32 uses a bolt-on design.
Engineered for the way Transporters are really used
A Transporter may carry tools during the week, bikes at the weekend and camping equipment during the holidays. It may spend hours on the motorway before tackling narrow country roads or a rough campsite entrance. Suspension for these vans needs to be more than a styling accessory.
Stance+ Transporter coilovers are designed to give enthusiasts the appearance they want while preserving the control, durability and usability required from an everyday vehicle.
With carefully matched components, strong corrosion-resistant finishes and lowering ranges of up to 150mm on selected Proline applications, Stance+ gives you the freedom to build your van your way.
Get the stance without sacrificing the drive
For more than a decade, Transporter owners have trusted Stance+ to deliver proper lows at a realistic price. Our kits offer the adjustability enthusiasts want, the control a heavy van needs and the everyday comfort demanded by UK roads.
From a subtly lowered daily driver to an ultra-low show build, Stance+ provides a proven solution for the Volkswagen Transporter T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1.
Lower it. Drive it. Enjoy it. Enhance your stance with Stance+.
