my bus is now running stock engine, air filter, exhaust, ride height, etc just as it would have done when it left the factory. I love the standard ride height and think it drive beautifully, however other people have said they find stock buses wallow too much

is this cos they expect it to ride like a modern car ?

stock rock :D :D

It has been said before but I'll say it again - every man to their own. That's the beauty of the scene and long may it be so.

I run stock ride height and love it, though I appreciate that lowering is what turns others on. Some buses just look better at certain heights than others. At least I don't have to worry about every hump in the road or rut in the field. :D

Hi they are 185 14 comercial tyres hancooks they were onn the bus when i bought it

the whitewalls and beauty rings i bought from http://www.ravus.de/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
 
Mine is at stock height but with bigger tyres, i love the handling just right for ralleying on gravel roads through forests. Perfect for road bumps, some tracks and snow!
I don't get lowered busses, think its a shame, but they're not my busses. :p
 
Mine simply wouldnt fit inside my garage as stock height so went for the slammed and narrowed look 8)

Each to their own - your bus look sweet!
 
Great bus - love it.
For me owning a bus is all about freedom. And I feel more free in a stock height bus :D

It's all about feeling comfy I quess. I've had peeps say my Bus needs lowering on here just brings out :evil: in me, if they can't respect an original stock Bus what the hell are they doin with a EB, I understand it with a LB though their not very pretty to start with. :lol:
 
me a stock height owner , great for when recently had to get thru flood water , also essential for getting underneath re roadside repairs,and ,having recently loaded way too much sand/cement bags into bus (its very much a working bus) it obviously on a visual, dropped at back ,thankfully no police noticed but reckon if previously lowered it would have been a no no .> on advice of my solicitor i have to advise anyone that overloading.....................
 
I agree^^
Ive wanted to go lower...and narrower...
But I dont want the hassle of damaging the van or making an uncomfortable ride.
Also I like my whitewalls....and I can go off road no problemo!!!! :mrgreen:



The way forward...Jack em up and take em into the wild!! 8) :lol:
