FB Van

Post by fbvan »

G'day All

Finally I have a couple of photos of the van to show you all. The rust repairs are done and it is ready for the road. Still needs a new coat of paint but this will do for while. I need to get it going for my daily.
Just a question for those of you who have done more to this model than me.
It sits very high? You can see in the photos that it needs to drop at least 60mm or more front and back.
Best way to do this? Not keen to cut the front coil. So new springs? Best supplier?
And reset the rears I think.
Comments?

The best thing to do with that van is give it to me :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You can buy lowered front springs easily enough , and get your rears reset to suit the fronts - or , if it was mine , I would licence it the way it is then lower the pizzle out of the front and leave the back the way it is :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Gday , You probably already realise buut you will have to change the wheels to drop it .
I think most shops sell 2 inch lowered coils no probs.
Dropped stub axles will also lower it around 2 inches but they are pricey at 7-800 dollars.
