Just a bit of a general (hopefully common) question about lowering Type 2 kombi's.

Does anyone know what the costs are for lowering front and back? What's involved (hard or easy)? and, can anyone recommend any places in SA to do the job?

Cheers,
Anthony

Type 2 Kombi I assume? That is the model designation for a bus, ute etc.

The front needs adjusters welded into the beam, and the rear reslpined. Usually $800 for the front drive in drive out would be a fair price, and maybe $200-250 labour for the rear. This should give you 3 inch drop.

Here is some more info

The website says six inches of adjustment, however that is three up and three down. The adjusters are also used to raise a bus.
