Just thought I'd post this up for reference:
I've been doing some research on lowering vans in general and it appears that lowering the rear end is pretty straightforward.
If you rotate the torsion bar by one inner spline, it lowers the rear suspension by 6 cm or 2.36 inches - bear in mind we'll have a 2.5 inch drop on the front with those dropped spindles so that's only a 5mm difference and I'm sure the weight of the engine, batteries, fuel tank when full etc will proberbly compensate.
You can get it spot on 2.5 inches by rotating the inner 2 splines and the outer in the opposite direction by 1 spline but it hardly seems worth it - the outer splines are usually siezed on anyway.
