Thanks - so as with quite a lot of things in life what I thought was a simple thing turned out to be more complex to sort out. In the end I have got upgraded springs and they do make a difference. The hybrid version is trickier to get springs and spacers to fit, as space is more limited it seems..Also  the initial springs I was sent were 20 mm too short. After re-measuring JDM have sourced and sent springs that are the correct length. I would recommend these. From the project I do have some springs and spacers that are now surplus to requirements if anyone is interested.

Thanks both- good thought that I could have been sent lowered springs. Ground clearance is  more limited now so not a desired outcome. 
 

Got them from jdm car  parts - seem to do a fair amount of Alphard spares. I’m waiting their response. I’m interested to know how you get on too!

After a bit of advice on springs too. replaced the rear springs with heavy duty ones to help with sag in a camper conversion and after fitting the van now sits even lower at the rear when unloaded. I’m wondering if the springs I have ordered are not quite right.  

It’s a 2006 e four hybrid

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks a lot
