not posted anything about frank on here for ages, most of last year the front suspension was in pieces, the frt beam was on off on off changed, off again on off... you get the picture.

So now we have four inch narrowed balljoint beam on coilovers and dropped spindels, adjustable rear springplates on the rear.

i can go about 2" lower than this but i don't want to tub the arches and as you can see the drive will allow it.

I dont see any bumpstops Ant. Rare, but I have seen the bottom mount snap when there are no leaves taking any load.
or have you upgraded the OEM stud to something stronger ?

i meant upgraded the bottom bolt not the whole thing  :)


That A arm beam makes me smile. One of the last things I did before giving up and going printing ['96] was draw just that ['cept mine had sleeve over not coil over   :) ]. That IS the way to go for busses. who is it ?
