you cant do this on coilovers

i could if i hit a speed bump fast enough

A couple of you lads are seriously missing the point here guys!

I had a good look over this bus at Big Bang and a chat with Mike Balls who's the lad that built it. It has had a 4 or 5 inch body drop, this means the body has been cut off of the chassis, and lowered over the already slammed running gear. The airbags actually pay no part in the lowering of this vehicle like your coil overs do, they only push it off of the floor enough to drive it about. It's always driven at least 10 inches (not cm's) lower than stock, hardly what you can call gash!

Coil overs on the other hand can be purchased for under £300 and fitted in around an hour by you nan.

I know what i'd rather be rolling.

seriously where did i say "this bus is gash" all i said was id prefer it with out the air bags, is that such a crime? i saw the bus at its first show, bug jam last year (with no air) and it was the foooookin bollocks, it still is, just i loved it more when it didnt have any airbags. and i know what a body drop is and ive seen the amount of work that has gone into it and its bloody impressive, if he uses the airbags for practicality then fair play to him.

actually my coilies were £170 and me and my brother fitted them, my nan is probly in no state to fit them

what everway you look at it, it's an awsome motor that meets it's owners needs, and so long as it does that it's perfect.

yeah got to agree, I have seen stuff on air that just isn't low up or down, that ride like a 70 year old whore, and have positive camber and tracking issues.

In the VW scene the goal posts that indicate what's low and what's not have been moved a mile in the last few years, and folks (like mike balls) that once wouldn't have touched air or tubs are now having to "get involved" to stay ahead of the game.

yeah hate threads for the win

i completely agree with billy, people in "the scene" saying "look how low and pretty my car is" when its parked up, then driving along just looks gash, in that sense id have coilovers anyday but what everyone is trying to say is that "Matt" doesnt use air for this reason its literally to jump it up a notch so that the body isnt on the road and all his work isnt wasted. At the end of the day lets just all agree that this van F-ing rocks and isnt guna be challenged for height for a long time regardless of air coz its been body dropped.

Also those of you that dont know matt check out performance VW alot of the work on the brasillia was down to him and i think everyone will agree that car is the airbags.
