Hey guys,

As I've stated before, i SUCK at suspension, so rather than dick around, I'd ask some experts!

Eventually I want to lower my standard 1969 1500 on some Fuch's, but in order to get the ride height I want I figured a narrowed beam is the way to go 🙂

Having a look at Volks.com.au, I didn't know which beam is right for my current set up...

Could someone explain which one is the right one, and more importantly, why? If anyone has a good website/link of how beetle suspensions work could they also shoot it through?

Cheers guys,
Ollie

I narrowed my own, theres a lot more work doing a balljoint beam than there is doing a link pin beam,but if you can do it yourself go for it saves a lot of $$$ and i think the ones you buy are for left hand drives so you still got to play around with them???
