Alright the last post covering this subject got a little silly so im not trying to risk my life or anyone elses on the road.I will just try explain the look im going for and maybe things might be sweet.I mean i was hopeing to hear anyones opinion on doing this.I believe it has never been done in Australia until now.My car is a 64 type 1 I have narrowed a beam 5 inches with adjusters it is in the process of getting powder coated i have oval gaurds on the front because they are wider,a w decklid and oval lights it is low but not that low the narrow beam is to draw the wheels closer and when running 135 or 125 on a set off 5 spokes looks damn kool im sure you agree,The wider gaurds gives a tubbed effect i have not done it to go lower but to go restocustomer....I promise i will do VW justice and i love my car i kiss her good night everynight im not going to damage her wheel arches to get this effect i just dont wanna hurt her. if it jumps on any corner in the workshop she will go and we will sort her out.But this method truelly does work I have researched it.If I am wrong i will bare my ass naked in bourke street mall...lol "D"

UPDATE:

Myself and the rest of the Germanfolks are preparing a video that can be viewed of a 5 inch narrowed beam on a 1950 split window about 2 inches off the ground with no shocks in action. Video from inside the car outside the car and shots of the suspension up in the air so there can be no doubt that its the same car. "Are you ready to be amazed Bob? Amaze me Bob". This is for those of you who cant take "the butchers word for it".
