You can move the swing/spring plates on the spline for the back, if you go low enough you will have to cut them, but they are spring steel so you dont want to introduce too much heat to them, the front beam will have to be removed and adjusters welded into them. Or you could just but wheels from a mini on! (10 inch).

narrowed beam is the front beam (thingy with wheels either side at the front) and mainly on bugs they cut a bit out of the middle so the wheeels sit more to the center of the guard allowing the car to be low and turn.

adjusters are what 59 bus was just talking about. any way they make the front of the car lower and have to be welded to the front beam.

umm the wheels tubs in question could mean the cutting of the floor above the front wheels ( the bit that would be under your seat) so the wheel can sit further up in the guard ( the floor is flat up there which do4esnt allow the car to get lowwered really really low 😉

hope that helps a lil zac
