I have a Foxey adjuster fitted. Bluebird sell em for around £90.
Am very happy with it, Daz

AFAIK buses come slightly higher (nose up) at the front from the factory, possibly to compensate for the weight of 2 passengers up front?

I would find it strange someone would tackle lowering the back and not the front at the same time :? ... have you got any pics?

WHS ^^

I never liked the "nose-up" look of VWs.

Just been looking today and relised if i lower the front the tyrs will catch the arches,so might raise the back a couple of inches

I think the back 'sags' a bit on many old buses - it might look like it's been lowered at the rear but it's difficult to be sure. Also, lowering the back is a (relatively) straightforward mechanical job - not so with the front.

As you can see it sits lower at the back than the front,but its not standard at the front any lower will touch tyres type 2 detectives quoted me £150 to bring the back up an inch or 2 ??

Love the way yours sits at the front Daz,i guess i can go lower by 2 inches but it would be close to the tyres

If your handy with a BFH then do it yourself, save you 150 notes (which sounds expensive to bring the splines round one)
