Im not sure how much it cost ...cuz they came with mine when I bought my bus..(lucky me

...but I have drop spindles in the back and an adjustable albastross front suspension...you could check my pic in another post in this thread to see what it looks like...the albatross allows me to lower and raise the front with the turn of a gear!...pretty sweet..

Here is how to lower your bus for free. Everyone will probably give me crap for even telling you this but you wanted it cheap and this is as cheap as it gets. First you need to take off the whole front suspension arms top and bottom so you have access to the spring plates in the front beam and then you yank out as many as you need to (no more than 4 per tube) take the two top and two bottom plates per tube not the center plates. As far as the back well its the principal as the bug. Undo the arm and move it however many teeth you need to.It took me a little less than a day to lower it. This is what i did to my bus before i got the adjustible front beam(see pic). It doesn't help the ride though it is rougher but not bad and it won't slam your bus to the ground but it's better than nothin I suppose. If you are going this route let me know (sstomper14@aol.com) and i will give you better instuctions
