Hi these are the cars i have at the moment : the beetle is a 1500 with now a bigger motor it is currently off the road for resto and a colour change. the other is my latest a 63 notch , this car came from the factory with no chrome and unlike the bug i am not going to over accessorize it. . empi 🙂 [ Edited on 25-3-2007 by empi ] [ Edited on 1-4-2007 by empi ] [ Edited on 14-6-2007 by empi ]

Ok have rebuilt the beam today its missing 1 half leaf, still is stupid low so i will have to put that half leaf in and see if it will raise it slightly .

1.Balljoint through a hole in the rim note the minimal clearance.

2. inner view.

3.Overall happy with how low (still want it lower!!:P) next to lower the rear.

You need more room than that because the angle on the arms will change when they go up or down and you'll lose some of your rim on the edge
