[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 501127, member: 20098"] The Gaz coilovers in that particular thread are not height adjustable per se. However, the more you preload the spring with the adjuster ring, the less they sag when the bus is on the ground, and effectively the higher you raise. Obviously the side effect of this is that the higher you want to raise it, the stiffer the front end will be. Depends how much you want to adjust it by and whether this would be acceptable. I have just fitted some to mine recently, and by tightening the collar so that the spring is just held tight when the wheels are off the ground (as per mot rules) the front end was naturally raised by a good inch or two when back in terra firma. I'm not sure if you can get proper height adjustable coilovers that will fit the front end of these - I.e. Ones with adjustable lower mounting point collars? [/QUOTE]
