Hi All,
Yes I know some people will want to slay me... but I am considering doing it. My house is built and its time for the sc to go a bit lower....
I have looked at the o/seas suppliers and apart from being expensive, doing a core exchange is difficult from here.
Anyway, I have access to a spare beam to do a prototype, and a brother in law with machine shop, so am confident I can do this properly.
In order to leverage these resources, I would like to know what the level of interest would be for these items... They would be the flipped 3.5" drop type.
So who's interested?
Split Bus drop spindles

...before you drop a bus *cringe*, please check the the wheels and drop desired will fit into the wheel wells without having to cut - as required on major drops.
That said, please don't.
I have friends in low places...

This is advice from Fig on my enquiry,
*quote* If you can, try to drive a lowered bus as well as taking Nick up on his offer. I did so recently and confirmed my belief that there is NOTHING positive to be gained from lowering a bus, and lots to lose, not least being your front teeth the first time your steering box catches a manhole cover. And I got bored VERY quickly with being unable to mount kerbs or drive over uneven terrain. Stock buses in good condition handle remarkably well in practiced hands *quote* "hint, hint"

Hehe...
Always more than welcome Didi.
If you let me know when you'd like to come through, you can take her for a drive.
