Hey bill.

I am interested in doing it to mine.

they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch

Lee,
yeah - I talked to your wife on the Sunday, I recognised her from your previous Avatar.
The ride is a little firmer with the lowered beam but nothing to complain about. I also lowered the back end 1/2 a spline so that the car is still level and that avoided the need to fit castor shims, so handling is still good.
I also fitted new shocks at the same time as adjusting the height front and rear so that the suspension wasn't in question.
Mike from Custom Bugs and Buses did the work for me, I can highly recommend them.
Good luck.
Bill
