How to Lower a Bay Window Bus

You’ve come to right place if you want to lower your bus. This guide will help you lower your Bus. Although most people lower their Buses for aesthetic reasons, there are also practical reasons. It may be necessary to lower your Bus to fit in a tight garage or to reduce body roll and crosswinds while driving on the highway. Once you’ve decided to lower your Bus, there are some things to keep in mind before you start the process.

First, determine the height of your Bus. Most VW Bus models 68-79 use a drop in spindle. This lowering kit can be used with disc brakes from 73 and up. Be aware that the stud pattern of early VW Buses is different from that on later models. The lowering process is fairly easy. To lower your Bus, remove the rear spring plates from the torsion bars and re-index to the desired height.
