thats going to look odd, if you lower the front to match the rear that bumper gonna be on the floor!

and haveing the rear lower just looks wrong, altho it is a van poeple will think it full of tools lol

Gonna need some mega stiff springs otherwise it's going to be worse than useless as an actual van.
Fill it with crap and it'll be leaving a dent in the road.
Mr Sump aint gunna like Mr Speedhump much either..lol.

Looks cool though.

as long as the car doesnt touch the floor , the wheels dont rub anywhere and the springs dont fall out when the car is jacked up then its legal

my estate has just sailed through a MOT and that got stuck in the brake test rollers !
the chassis rails are only 2" from the floor !
