THE KOMBI KONNECTION

Brookie · Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2007 7:42 pm Post subject: Lowering your bus.

As we tend to use our Kombis for touring and camping it is not wise to lower them as we quite often go "off the bitumen".

However for those who like the lower look this is a good link,

Hi All
I must admit that i am a lover of the KUSTOM modified bus as my name suggests. We had Docs bus lowered and i too used Indian Automotive adjusters. I have seen them and used them and they are truely a great unit. They are relatively easy to fit with basic mechanical skills needed. Kimm also supplies very discriptive instructions and pictures.

The only thing i would warn people about before they lower there bus is that the ride will get harder. You do feel every bump. But as Brookie said you either love it or hate it!!!!!

Thanks Jamie Laughing

Does anyone know if someone in Perth can supply and fit Indian Automotive adjusters?

Welcome to KK - Bill at Volkswest did mine I'll try and hunt his mobile for you...unless anyone else beats me to it.

Thanks for the prompt reply BJ. I know of Volkwest. If you don't mine me asking, what's a ballpark figure for lowering a Bay here on the West Coast. Cheers.

I had mine done a while back around 1400 all up inc. front beam- but I was lucky. Someone had a front beam already adjusted and no longer required (it was just sittin there) so I brought it.

Out of curiosity, how easy would it be to re-raise a kombi that has been lowered? ie Would it be feasible to raise a kombi road-side before heading off-road, or is it a job that takes too much time and effort?

Not quick or easy with available adjusters. Just been to Kustom Nats at Philip Island and some vehicles had air bags so they could adjust as required. Most just looked silly!

Thanks Alpal... I thought that might be the case, I was just hoping there might be an (eg imported) alternative for quick adjustment (other than the air bags!). Heh heh I guess I will just have to take practicality instead of fashion! Smile
