Suspension Upgrades for VW Transporter & Multivan – What You Need to Know
At Leighton Vans, we specialise in suspension upgrades for the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan platforms—whether you're chasing a better ride, lower stance, or a lifted setup.
Same Platform, Many Options
From T5 to T6.1, the Transporter and Multivan share the same basic suspension layout. Most of what you see in our LV-R packages features a standard 40mm drop—and yes, it still rides surprisingly well, even on stock shocks.
Adjustable Rear Suspension
We also offer adjustable rear kits that let you fine-tune ride height using threaded cups. They're easy to install and allow you to raise or lower the rear of your van in just minutes.
Coilovers: The Truth About Ride Quality
Coilovers often get a bad rap, but quality makes all the difference. Our Bilstein Comfort Coilovers are a game-changer for ride feel and control. They're calibrated specifically for Transporters and Multivans, delivering a noticeably smoother drive.
📌 Note: 95% of vans in Australia are T28 or T30 models (2.8T to 3.0T GVM). Some ex-government vans may be T32, which use different front coilovers due to their unique knuckle design.
Not sure what you've got? Send us a photo of your front wheel turned out and your hub—we’ll help you identify it within minutes.
Airbag Suspension – Top of the Line
If you're after the smoothest ride possible, we also install full airbag suspension. Engineered and tested, it's the ultimate setup for those who want premium performance and adjustability—definitely not the cheapest, but worth it for the serious builder.
Lift Kits Available Too
Just like lowering, we also offer lift springs, adjustable perch kits, and lifted coilovers to help you gain ground clearance and a tougher stance.
All suspension upgrades can be installed at our Burleigh Heads workshop, and we ship Australia-wide.
