Resently fitted a red 9 wishbone front end job done in a weekend,then topped it off with a set of 17 fuch from mws(purchased at bug freeze ex display ones £350 in matt silver+matt black).Front end came ready built up and was a doddle to fit been to see the lads at red 9 today to have the tracking checked only needed minor adjustment to toe-in.Bus now drives like a dream ready for its trip to ninove in a couple of weeks(going via hull to rotterdam saturday nights boat returning sunday night)

The ride is superb due to the spax shockers that come fitted with multiple ride settings.Drove it down the M1 sunday was able to hold it steady with one hand (with my old box you were constantly correcting).The steering is also ace better turning lock and more positive feel than before.

I had a helper but no way was he little,just me and my bro mate in our garage
 
I was looking at your setup and am very interested in it. Next month I am having a Red9 front end fitted and I currently own almost the same wheels and tyres as you.
I was hoping if you could answer a few questions for me.
- Am I correct in saying you have your Red9 setup at its 2nd highest level?
- If I am have you tried it lower?
- Have you had any rubbing or bottoming out issues?
Any advice or experience appreciated for a quicker and pain free setup.
My back end is down 1 notch and I am hoping to go as low as no rubbing or bottoming out allows. The odd mega pothole excepted.

Looks fantastic. Nice ride height and great looking wheels.

I was hoping mine would fail its MOT on steering so I could use it as an excuse to get this setup on our bus. Maybe next year.

Nice 8) top work 8) I like the looks of the red9 set up , might have to have a nip to one of their once a month open open days, (especially after chatting to them at dubfreeze and realising they're based only 20 min up the road to me :lol: )
