Lowered, but buy how much?

[cunning plan]

When I bought my bus it was already lowered, but I dont know by how much.

I need to replace the current setup but like the look of how it is at the moment so want to get a system that will keep the same drop but I need to work out what that drop is.

How is best to do this? Take a measurment from a standard height bus to the wheel arch or door handle or something then work out how much my bus is missing?

:?:

Mines not lowered at all (yet..) apart from 38 years of wear .. let us know if ya need any measurements .. I guess that would be a sensible way of checking ..

.. bloody hell its cold on my drive in just my keks .. :roll:

measured at the centre of the arch ( central on the hub cap ) it measures a massive 726mm from lowest part of arch to floor .. my arches have no lip but i dont think its gonna be much different ..
