IIRC, the later Visas - the ones with 4 stud wheels, are basically a Pug 205 - so as long as the rear susp carried over to the van, then, all as 205 - pop.

I would like to see one of these dropped; there's at least 2' too much air under the arches  |

Depending on the age of the van. the rear axle has coil springs or torsion bars. Mine range from 97 to 2001 and are all coil springs. Front is Mac struts so business as usual there with lowering or cut springs or a coilover conversion if you wish.  ressort helicoidal = coil spring. amortisseur = shock absorber. |

I always found a 205ltr drum of anti-freeze in the back worked well at lowering them!, Thisis my old works van back in 2003, it was only 3 years old at this point yet had still covered over 120000 miles, Great little van really, apart from everything falling off it.  |

I remember a mate rolling a his Visa years ago. The only thing I remember about it is the mental dashboard. Indicator stalks? Nah, just mount a plastic bean can next to the steering wheel where you can twist the top and bottom. The French...crazy guys  .  |
