I have fk coilovers, with cesaros. And the wheel rubbed on the coilovers at the top and fucked my tyre!! So I adjusted the camber the other way, but my wheels sit a rediculous angle!!

Nic, they'll be fine. Unless you're planning on pushing the van hard which I doubt, they'll be as good as any other. If anything, look at upgrading ARB and bushes, you'll notice the difference.

you gotta run at least a 3mm spacer with all coilovers I have used as it will rub through your tyre if your running mega lows..

From what I've heard on the Internet and by honest people they are ok. Not likely to spontaneously combust etc but not a decent suspension compared to more expensive stuff. The sort of thing I could see you upgrading again in the future. Better off to buy something decent now imo.

Heard a lot about them being crap. AP or wietec are a good budget coilover and not that much more expensive.

Ive always been of the opinion that it depends on the car in question when it comes to budget coilovers.

Some makes of car are fine with them, other makes might drive like shit.

Best bet would be to ask on the T2 forum where owners might have had good or bad experiences with them.
