My bus is lowered at the front using narrowed beam and lowered king and link pin with spax shocks .The tyres are 195/45/15 It sits really low how i want it but the ride on the front is solid,is there a better shock or something else i could try.
Thanks stu

first thing id do, is pull your shocks off and take it for a quick spin, see if it rides better without shocks. Something else could be binding causing it to ride poorly. Also, narrowed lowered beams always ride far worse than stock. If it rides better without shocks, try and find a cheap oil filled shock, they always seem to be the smoothest. If it doesnt ride any better with the shocks off, I would look for other spots of binding. Sometimes the lower pinch bolt can bind on the steering arm. Also you may need to grease the beam.

try that out and see if it changes anything.

do you have drop spindles, or just the adjusable beam? if just the beam, get the drop spindles, and raise the adjusters, it will ride far better.
