guessing by ur sig its the Lbug?

how low are u wanting to go??

i had mine stupidly low b4 i raised it back up abut
sway bar was 47mm off the black stuff with 1/2 tank of fuel and noone in it
very short lived cos i wore down the swaybar clamps in no time at all and just couldnt get over speedbumps/ driveway gutters without taking half an hour

best bet is adjustable struts, gives ur the chance to play with the ride height without much effort

Topline in the USA will have them on your door step for under $600 and they are very good quality. That is about half what the Aussie Shops will sting you for them. - http://www.toplineparts.com/

I got all my parts from Jon and he is very good to deal with and doesn't rip you off.
