my bus sits nose high. about 1 or 2 inches too high. this looks kinda silly, and i am sure it is affecting my handling. what would be the best way to drop the front just a tad, about 1.5 inches? would coil over shocks be a good solution? or gas adjust?
also, does anyone know much about that oversize crank pulley that was in VWT a few months ago? the one that is supposed to give you more air from your fan. has anyone tried it out? any feedback. it seems like it is a good idea ya know. |

| Maney Baywindow buses suffer from saggy ass syndrome. The cure is to reajust the REAR tortion arms,or if not to bad try the coil-overs.I also am intrested in that oversized pully by Bugpack, they wanted like $45.00 for it. I may give it a try later. DavidK 71 Deluxe,69S/Cab |

Is your Bus higher in front when you are sitting in the driver's seat?
I'd follow the earlier advice but mine is that you'll never get a Bus to handle very well to begin with. |

the bus is higher in the front compared to all the other baywindow buses around. and i've checked :>)
the ass is the right height, unless they all have a saggy ass.
the rear looks to be a real nice height, i;d just like to drop the front to match.
is that a no on coil overs? |
