[QUOTE="GOM68, post: 616214, member: 18195"] Now then, Been thinking about lowering the ride height on my bus so it doesn't wallow about and feel like a boat, however I have been looking into the rules around the MOT exemption, (which I am making the most of) and it states if you change the suspension it will make the exemption void, meaning a yearly trip back to the garage. It does however state, 'axles and running gear have been changed to improve efficiency, safety or environmental performance' are deemed as being acceptable. Has anyone spoken to DVLA about this? In my mind if I were to upgrade the suspension it would make the van more stable etc, therefore making it safer, am I just being delusional? Now I know there will be folk out there that will say, "but how will they ever know" however I am a saddo and abide by the rules. :) TIA Paul [/QUOTE]
