People if your van Knocks/rubs or bangs cus its lowered SOMETHING is clearly Wrong .
If your tyres catch there the wrong size :twisted: I went through 3 sets of front tyres before fitting 175/55/15s to the Gadget bus and 3 lads and 4 peoples gear plus large trolley jack and tools to EBi ...It didnt rub once
If your bus fails the M.o.t due to lack of Travel ..... Cut down/off the bump stops This will improve the ride no end
If you have done all of the above and it still rides like ***** Your shocks are wrong ...Im just devoloped some new Gas front shocks to be sold by me under the " Gadgets Shop " banner Get It :wink: . these are slam shocks that will go down to 220mm fully compressed and will fit even the lowest Bay /split bus front or possibly the Rear too . Its taken a while but now there done . They are £ 49.99 a pair and if you bought the equivalant Spax shocks from Machine 7 there £ 145 a pair which is why im determined to Give something back to the Early bay scene and NOT rip people Off
Please NOTE when lowering your bus 1 pair of Shocks DOES NOT fit all No matter what Heritage/SSP/ Just Kampers tell you . AND when buying a set You need to Ask the fully compressed Meaurement
If it helps You which it will put the bus on the floor with all the weight in it ,I.e interior engine etc then with the front shocks off measure the dimension between the the bottom shock stud and the top mounting Hole . This dimension is the measurement YOU need to determine what shocks you need on your bus .
Now typically Bus front suspension can move up to 30 mm on the move so if your measurement is 320 mm You need shocks that will compress down to 290 mm MINIMUM........... NOT 300 mm as the EXperts say as your travel will run out and You will hear a Large Bang everytime you hit a pothole sized Bump
Gadgets Shocks Avalible NOW :mrgreen:
Oh yes Shock measurements Help :mrgreen: The shocks at there most Compressed are 220mm and there fully extended length OH Err are 310 mm As of yet these will not fit the rear of buses Unless they are Proper slammed :mrgreen:
Please check all measure measurements before ordering Thanks :mrgreen:
And Watch out for more Gadgets Shop products :wink:
