Oh maybe, being from this side of the pond I wasn't aware of the body drop but sure looks like something like that would had to have been do to get it that low. Pics please!

 

[antoine]

not sure the easiest way to find them elsewhere (its too early for me) but search for T2D on facebook they stick photos of most stuff up there and i seem to remember a few build shots.

 

[young_dubya]

Yup tis body dropped. Think the only way I think you can tell from the topside is the fuel filler flap is 4"-5" higher than stock lol

and now for MY 69 :mrgreen:

I'm running 175/55/15's, CE weedeater 2 beam with welded drop spindles and Wilwood 4 pot calipers with vented discs up front,

and 205/70/15's with just a 2 spline drop at the rear (Adj spring plates on the WANT list)

Rear Looks too high in the middle pic as the van was HEAVILY loaded driving to Norway and back in August,

as you can guess it's damn comfy and rides well, Norway and back felt like a little drive to the shops!

just to update this, now got adjustable spring plates at the rear,

also got a set of racing rims, I've also bucked the trend and raised my van slightly as the speed bumps were doing my **** in!

 

[Humpty]

So where's the pics Alex?

 

[bertiethebus]

Red 9 coilies up front.......,


Chucked in the bin and now running STANDARD :shock:

Mmmmmmmmm comfy ride 8) 8)






Now to aort that nasty front clip courtesy of PO

Just fitted some t2d dropped spindles, coil overs and some slamwerks adjustable spring plates (these are ace, even managed to raise it a spline with them on by removing the cover) . The bus was lowered on adjusters and one spline but the balljoints were pretty knackered, it did last 4 years so I can't complain. The adjusters are now as high as they will go, currently it has 185 65 r14' s on the front but i think these will have to go cos theres a bit of rubbing going, maybe 175 60s or something similar, theres plenty oh height in the arch it just catches on the outer bit. rears are standard size.
Anyhow some pics

Now i just need to get the tracking done, sort the camber and fine tune everything.
The info on this forum helped me out a lot!
Cheers!

Nice work Minty, looking 8)

 

[ZedBed]

Nice minty - I love the lowered but not narrowed look. Narrowed is soooooo last year. :lol:

 

[minty]

Finally out and about...
New front tyres are 175/60 r 14, bf goodrich, they seem pretty strong and no rubbing (yet)

Cheers! 8)

I've bought a set of Splitty 15"s for my EB but I'm unsure about the tyre choise. I've also got a 3" narrowed beam and adjuster for the back to go on.

Tyre size I was thinking on was:

Front - 175/55/15
Back - 185/65/15

I found Conti Ecocon 3's but they are a car tyre. I'm just not going to find a commersial tyre with in that size or am I?

Will I be OK with the car tyre if I agree with my insurance company first?

I am running the same tyres on 15" split and work well. I got continental.

 

[LeeZee]

Thanks Chome, I've ordered the contis from black circles. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can show a painted bus with beam and wheels on. Then it will be interior time.

 

[LeeZee]

Can someone please tell me I don't need hub adaptors to fit splitty wheel. I just got that horrible feeling I might have to shell out again to fit these. :shock:

If your van is a 71 model year, you have 112PCD, narrow 5, the splitty is 205PCD, wide same, same as earlybay pre 71 model year. Example, my 70 is wide 5.

If i suspect as yours is late, it's adaptors needed.

[LeeZee]

Its a 71.....So adaptor then huh.

I've changed them for some Slot Mags instead.

15" 356 rims with 195/50/15's all round.

Creative 3.75 weedeater up front and Creative adjustable springplates on rear.


Worth noting front beam will drop a lower than pictured but at this height the ride qualitly is ***** (not to mention the balljoint issue)

Soon to be sporting dropped spindles to regain some suspension movement and keep the pictured "look"

that looks fat dude
