[QUOTE="AndyO, post: 377034, member: 3499"] IMO yes, just the ticket - when you say ridiculous money, it's subjective - the approach you mention is still £1000 + plus labour (DIY is the way forward though, and you could use a foot pump / plug in 12 v compressor to adjust them to save money). A cheap approach would be an adjuster in the beam and a spline or two at the rear (how mine was when I got it...) very rough, crashy ride. It's certainly enough and is a very good way to lower your bus, the other issues that I have found is that when I was lower on splines I had excessive negative camber. I figured raise her up to std and put horseshoes on, to get rid of said camber. This worked, but as I have aftermarket 'foosh' wheels (ET20???) they then fouled the arch / lip = grind :roll:. I do not have adjustable rear spring plates so can't comment on camber with those - others might. I like the idea of the adjusability of these and may get around to buying a set someday and ditching the horseshoes, or using both together of course... Now, someone already mentioned the red 9 kit - which also gives better steering, great ride etc. When you do your sums have a look at this as it is another viable option. [/QUOTE]
