i got my 2inch drop stubs from castlemain rod shop about 4 years ago cost $450.00 back then, they take hQ rotors and brakes or torana brakes , the paper work that comes with the stubs is a bit rough but give you the basics to work it out,you need to graft in a hQ lower balljoint and reshape the end of the a arm for disc clearence, the back of the stub needs to be milled for spacers and longer bolts for the steering arm, the spring tower needs to be trimed for caliper clearence, this setup also narrows the wheel track by 1 inch per side which allows for deeper dish rims.
hope this helps in the discission making 

cool will chase this one up when i get a chance..... cheers

Hi Keith,
   We don't make drop axles for CF Bedfords but many people have adapted our
Holden axles in,  from memory (and its over 6 years since I had anything to
do with Bedfords) the top arm had the Holden balljoint fitted and the axles
were reamed to take the Bedford bottom joint.  Commodore brakes fit straight
onto our axles and were much better than the Bedford brakes.  I can now only
supply the axles at $775.00 a pair including GST and the rest would be up to
you.
Regards
Rod

can a bedford go this low?

[outriding]

I haven't seen any photo of a CF yet of a front that low... without some major modification I dont think you can do it.
The rear is much easier to lower.

[BusyKiwi]

The standard CF front suspension can't handle being lowered very much as the more you lower things like springs the more you upset the steering geometry.

for ideal ride the wishbones should be straight across or slightly down when looking from the font

The only real way to lower it is major mods.

[outriding]

This is the lowest I have seen and its obvious that it has major work done as the chop indicates.
