Hi

Does anyone know where a can find a simple guide to fitting a lowered front beam to my beetle. This is my 1st project and although i've tinkered with cars this would be biggest job i'd done. Is it something a relative amateur could do fairly easily?

Thanks

Either drop spindles or welding in adjusters or buying a new beam with adjusters already fitted.

If you want a severe drop you'll want both. Spindles will give a 2.5" drop and means you can use stock shocks. On an adjustable beam any more than that on a drop and you'll need new shocks. Drop spindles will give a better ride quality but you can lower with a beam a bit and still retain some comfort.

Its all on here.
