Episode 5 – Andy Stretton about the relationship between THQ Automotive and BILSTEIN

Welcome to Episode 5 of our series “Story Behind the Setup.” In this episode, Andy Stretton, founder and managing director of THQ Automotive, talks about his passion for Volkswagen Transporters. THQ Automotive is one of the top destinations for anyone looking to customise their Transporter. From small styling details and camper conversions to complete show cars, the company offers components to suit a wide variety of ideas and tastes. When it comes to suspension, BILSTEIN has been the first choice for Andy and THQ for many years. What’s more, a long-standing development partnership developed between the two companies. In addition to various lowering kits, air suspension systems and lift kits have been developed. THQ is also working with BILSTEIN on new solutions for the new T7 platform and the technically related Ford Transit Custom. “If I’d been able to choose a brand, it would always have been BILSTEIN,” says Andy. It’s a partnership that fits his own philosophy almost perfectly: after all, a vehicle shouldn’t just look different; it should also drive better. #BILSTEIN #WAYAHEAD #THQ #THQAutomotive #Transporter #VWT5 #VWT6 #VWT7 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:18 THQ Automotive 02:30 The THQ Build Philosophy 03:47 Transporter scene 04:45 Dream Build 06:18 Relationship with BILSTEIN / So Low Suspension kit 10:15 Development for the T7 11:02 Shipment approach 12:20 Outro
