I remember hearing a while ago that someone was bringing in spring and shock kits for lowering T3's.
Does anyone remember who it was?
Are short shocks available here?
Now I've lowered my bus 70mm, it's sitting on the bottom of the shocks and has made the ride a little bumpy.
Absolutely rails around corners though, just gets a little bouncy on rough roads.

Cheers.

i heard on here that Roy at the BusStop had spring/shock packages. Not sure where he was getting them from or what brand. This was posted in the watercooled forum and a price was provided.

I'm after a set of 45mm springs myself (and maybe shocks depending how worn they are). Someone else on here said AVO in the UK had a kit and i've seen the CIP1 website in the US has one, but apart from that don't really know

pod i`ve got to finish this thing one day

bump stops?

mine's sitting on the bottom of the stroke of the shockers.

I got my springs wound locally here in Adelaide. They can make them to whatever height you require, higher or lower.
