H&R sport suspension for VW T5, T6 & T6.1

Good news for all Bulli fans with sporting ambitions:
The H&R sport suspension for VW T5, VW T6 and VW T6.1 is now available.
If you want to give your van or camper not only a more striking appearance but also noticeably improved driving dynamics, this is the perfect solution.

Sportier on the road – even with a van

The suspension plays a crucial role, especially in the T5, T6 and T6.1. Whether in everyday use, on long journeys or with a full load,
a precisely tuned setup ensures greater stability and a confident driving experience.
The H&R sport suspension is not just a ‘lowering kit’, but a well-designed complete system.

What does the H&R complete suspension system include?

The system consists of:

  • H&R lowering springs
  • Sport-tuned shock absorbers

Both components are optimally tuned to the higher vehicle weight and centre of gravity of the van. The result: a tighter, more controlled characteristic curve – without compromising everyday comfort.

Your advantages at a glance

✔ Significantly sportier appearance
The lowering ensures a more harmonious vehicle line and a more solid stance on the road – no more ‘bus look’.

✔ Greater stability when cornering
Reduced roll and noticeably more control, especially during quick changes of direction or when driving on the motorway.

✔ More precise steering
More direct steering and greater feedback – the van feels more compact and controlled.

✔ Perfectly tuned system
Springs and dampers are developed and tested as a single unit.

Conclusion

With the H&R sport suspension, your T5, T6 or T6.1 will be noticeably more dynamic – both visually and technically.

More control.
More stability.
More driving pleasure – even in a van.

 

All H&R components always have the necessary part approvals/TTG and are made in Germany!
