Run it low. Drop it professionally for that perfect stance. The Stance+ Proline Coilover Kit for the VW Transporter T26/T28/T30 (T5/T5.1) is our most capable suspension upgrade, with a base-adjustable front strut design and up to 150mm of drop on most applications. The whole strut shortens or lengthens to achieve your ride height, always keeping full piston rod travel. The T26/T28/T30 uses the slide-in clamp type front strut fitting.
What makes the Proline different is how it achieves its extreme lowering. Conventional coilover kits move the spring seat to lower the van, which reduces damper travel at lower ride heights and can lead to a harsher, more compromised ride. The Proline takes a different approach: the front strut body itself is adjustable in length, shortening or lengthening to set the ride height while keeping 100% piston rod travel at all times. You can run it seriously low and still have the full damper stroke working for you. Adjustment can be done while the kit is still fitted to the van.
On the road, the performance improvement over factory suspension is significant. Gas-assisted, oil-filled FUCH dampers are set approximately 25-30% stiffer than standard, delivering flatter cornering, sharper turn-in, and noticeably better body control. NOK oil seals throughout ensure long-term durability, and the powder coated damper bodies are built to handle whatever the British weather throws at them.
Fixed damping is set at around 25-30% above factory specification, tuned to suit the specific weight and geometry of your VW Transporter T26/T28/T30 (T5). It's a firm, capable setup that strikes the right balance between handling performance and day-to-day usability. The spring rates and damping rates are compatible with all loads from 2600kg (T26), 2800kg (T28) and the heavier 3000kg (T30).
Lowered Transporters command serious attention, and the Proline kit offers the perfect drop and stance. Engineered specifically for the Transporter T5 platform with the weight and geometry of the T26/T28/T30 van factored into all components.
Fitting is a direct swap with your factory suspension, reusing OE top mounts and bearings. We always recommend fitting new top mounts. Copper grease the threaded base and collars before fitting to protect the threads and ensure easy future adjustment. The kit uses the factory drop links, however our short universal kits can be used if needed. Have it installed by a qualified mechanic and get the alignment reset on a proper laser alignment machine. 2-year warranty as standard.
