How did you lower it? I'm trying to find floors and I found the bus boys adjusters that I'll TIG into my beam, but how did you do the rear? Just readjust it?

Thanks!!

Post by: volksnut on June 12, 2006, 07:48:39 PM: Hey Matt fellow turbo dude! I used adjusters (Avis style) CB carries them now $24.95 each....you either have to drill out the peens that hold the center anchor or twist them loose the Bus Boys method then weld in the adjuster....I guess mines lowered 4\" front, I used Audi 16x7 wheels and 205/45-15 front, I used the 68 beam but changed out the spindles to 71 up and used stock discs with 5x112 bolt pattern (same as the Audi) it stops great even with no power brakes.....I haven't lowered the rear yet....but I hear clearanced spring plates and 1 outer notch will do it.....have fun and post pictures of your progress....

Post by: Matt Davis on June 13, 2006, 12:23:43 AM: Hey Volksnut!! Thanks for the reply, the CB adjuster is for a bus beam or are you adapting it for use on a bus and it's a Type 1 adjuster?

How much lower can you go with your beam? It looks great!

Post by: volksnut on June 13, 2006, 08:15:39 PM: it's set at half way...I would think it could go a few more inches, it rides great like it is and doesn't rub ...the snubber mount is cut off so it can go low, but I'm thinking of running some shorter shocks for more travel, their the same as a link pin
