HI All

Hi guys, New to this site and already finding out so much info! Which I'm really pleased about!

I'm the very proud owner of a '87 kaarman cab, which has already need a new gearbox  :banghead: but its running really well and now I want to turn my attention to styling and handling.

 Anyone have any suggestions for suspension I can buy without breaking the bank? looking to lower the ride height by about 40mm, is this too much?

Any Help will be greatly appreciated!

Paul.

Hi Paul, welcome to the site! Where in the UK are you?

Personally, I wouldn't go more than 40mm. Be aware of some of the cheap coil over kits on ebay, the ride can be a tad harsh!

Get some pics up of your cabby - and - if you join the club, membership would get you 10% discount on a new hood, discount at GSF - the list goes on… 8)

Cheers
Andy

Well done mate, I've dropped mine by 40mm and gave no issues apart from the firm ride but the kids don't complain. :lol:

Get some pics up so we can all have a good old gawp.

Hi Paul, my tintop is sitting around 75 mm lower and suits it, but my clipper cab was lowered 40mm and was great, wasnt too bumpy but better than normal..
