Stock Width Elite Series Complete Lowering Kit – 1955-67 Split Screen Bus
Elite Series Split Screen Beams are built around a versatile design including direct mount with no body / chassis modification for Narrowed and Stock width models, flexibility for Air Ride and Static applications as standard, fitted with roller needle bearings as per original Split Screen beam assembly, ambidextrous fixings for LHD and RHD models as well as both a factory and 1” beam raise built into every end plate.
Combining this with an increase in castor over factory axle design to achieve improved road holding, particularly at speed whilst also reducing lane wander. Fixed via dual adjusters on both upper and lower CDS single piece beam tube’s and linked to the spindles via our own design raised/ tucked steering pin mount.
Each steering pin is relocated tighter to the beam, both counteracting the effect of increased castor in reference the drag link rod whilst most importantly resolving ackermann angle issues on our 2” and 4” narrowed models. This increases both lock-to-lock travel whilst reducing steering weight at slower speeds.
Further to these features we offer CNC’d Torsion Leaves / Through Rods depending on your application, plus solid core Track Rods pre-narrowed and ready to install as well as brake servo mounts.

Adjustable Spring Plates (Please ensure you pick the correct style to suit your vehicle – please contact us for more information)
Adjustable Dropped Rear Spring plates for T2 Split Screen
Each kit includes two adjustable spring plates and a pair of spacer plates to ensure the correct pinch on the rear, ensuring good lift / drop and smooth movement once desired ride height is set. These plates are simply adjusted using the easy access grub screw block fixed to the side of the spring plates – no need to completely disassemble the rear axle.
These spring plates are produced in house with our bespoke spline broach to ensure precision fitment to your torsion bars. The broached sections are then CNC Robot welded to the spring plate sections to ensure a consistent and precise production. The plates are then pre-blasted and finished in a smooth Satin Black powder coat.
Designed to also correct tow-in problems on the rear of your vehicle as each spring plate features slotted driveshaft mounting holes allowing the rear to be laser aligned, this dramatically reduces tyre wear and the loose/ skatey feel to the rear end found on stock spring plates.
Details:
– Adjustable to “fine-tune” your desired ride height
– Trackable dropped plates
– Stress relieving spacers included
– Produced by us here in the UK
– Hardwearing Satin Black powder coat finish.
2 Pairs of T2 Bay Window / Split Screen Rubber Smooth 2 3/8″ Spring Plate Bushes
Ensure the rear end is fresh and solid when fitting the new spring plates. With OEM grade Spring Plate bushes, the spring plates are guaranteed optimal fitment.
