About a year ago my BIL decided his second car duties would be better served by a 2021 Citroen Berlingo van rather than his past steeds which have ranged from a Corsa to a couple of A4s and a GT86.
Despite, like me, his age beginning with a 6, it's brought out the inner boy racer for him and he recently treated it to a nice set of grey 18 or 19" alloys. Only trouble is, it now looks like it's on stilts so he wants to lower it. Doesn't seem to be any off the shelf stuff like there is for something like a VW Caddy - any recommendations for a supplier who might know their stuff well enough to do an 'unusual' vehicle?

Looks like it's a little too new. Kits only seem available for the previous model up to 2018.
I would give Ben Lang at Blackdown Automotive a call. He is a Bilstein expert.

Failing that SpringCoil in Sheffield will do one off sets of custom springs - they did me some insane length ones for the buggy before.

I was going to say that I don't think the Berlingo is based off a car platform as such. I know brakes and drivetrain are shared with small PSA stuff, but I wouldn't know about the suspension. People get away with it on the Caddy because the front end is all Golf and the rear end is leaf springs, so they just flip the mounting blocks to drop them on their arse.
