lowering

I have a set of 40mm Vogtland Lowering springs to fit a T4, I bought these to lower my 1999 T4 but they never got fitted. I've not got the box anymore, there are a few marks on them where they've been stored. Model number HA 956047 Will try and post a pic up soon. £110 posted Cheers, Dave.

A pair of original ‪#‎VW‬ spring plates (notched by a previous owner) for sale - £50 For those that love getting down an dirty with their lowered or slammed Vintage VW bus, then these ex-Californian imported notched spring plates might be of interest… a bit grubby, but solid and rust...

Made from OE quality materials, these plates are laser cut from grade 50 tool steel and Mig welded to new-made machined splined stubs (no-rewelding of old stubs into new plates). Designed to be as strong as stock spring plates, but allow for extra drop by clearing the spring plate bump-stop on...

Hi does anyone know of anyone in or around swindon who could lower my 73 bus (cut front beam and adjusters) thanks Richard

i've got a 1966 beetle with a standard width beam with adjusters. Also, with standard smoothie steel rims. I've read other threads that say '145/65' but others say these don't work well with ball joint beetles due to the height at which the beam is mounted or something :confused: just after...

Just was the title says, wondering what year type3 gearbox I can use to lower my '60 bus and get rid of the RGB. What beetle gearbox for that matter. Cheers

Ive recently lowered the front suspension of my 1970 vw beetle. I bought a pair of lowered shocks, the one fits perfectly and is on, the other wont fit on the trailing arm?! Is there a bushing on it that I need to remove? If so how do I remove this? Cheers Louis

I'm contemplating the slam, but 2 things! Will it affect my insurance? Is it easy and cheap to do? cheers Jonathan

Was putting on my new drop spindles and once just about everything was back together, my drum wouldn't completley fit back over the spindle. I meansured the diameter of the inner bearing race on the spindle and sure enough was bigger than the stock one. My buddy had mentioned this to me and of...

Hey guys, I am looking to lower my '72 1302 (Super Beetle) around 2/3". Unfortunately as a student I don't have a very large budget to get it done at a garage, so I am considering doing the work myself. I just don't know where to start. Does anybody have any hints for lowering a Bug (both...

I'd like to return my beetle to a more original ride hight to use as a more practical every day car. I'd like to fit BFG 165/80 two and a quarter inch white wall tyres all round. My question is can you still lower the front a little bit just to get a slightly nose down or is it a no-no on...

To my delight i have discovered my '78 beetle front beam has adjusters, i have been planning to lower my car for a while and i have been looking at dropped spindles, then, someone advised i could fit adjusters to my existing beam so that the ride height can be fine-tuned. so i go and look at my...

Hi all, Im wanting to lower my '78 beetle on the front just slightly using dropped spindles and im just wondering, how hard can it be? could someone like myself (training mechanic at college) do it, are any specialist tools needed, do bearings need to be pressed out etc. or could i do it myself...
