What's the general concensus of opinion on this method of lowering the rear of our buses?

I'd appreciate your thoughts guys

Thanks
 
I think it's the only way to go. I bought wagenswest west ones, but didn't like that they were welded, so i had some made from a single piece of inch steel. a lot of places out here offer lowering services and just adjust the springplate, the negative camber is horrendous and looks sh**e, in my opinion. I've no idea what it must be doing to the bearings.
 
Depends how low for the best option. For most I cant really see any problems with a one spline adjustment ... there shouldnt be any additional bearing load?

More than that Id fit adjustable springplates :)
 
:) Clem, flipflop

thanks for your comments, seen some of these fitted and they look good.

Anybody else got any thoughts?

Thanks
