Thought it was about time I put up some pics of my dubs.
It started with the 66 beetle and then came along the 69 lowlight.
Both cars have been hit with the lowering stick,(adjusters and adjust of spring plates)
Special thanks goes to Pete from Custom VeeDub for lowering the kombi, great work and kept me updated along the way and even better I didnt have to get dirty.
Hope you like.
Cheers,
Rodz

Are they oil or gas shocks dude? does yours slam in front with them while driving?
RODZ ·
I put oil ones in because I like the slower rebound, I run oil in the beetle and found they improved the ride.
my beam will hit the adjusted bump stops before bottoming out the shocks as I made sure the correct travel was in shock travel distance.
tar76 ·
wonder if they will fit a later model bus like mine? Do run the shorten in the bug as well if not what type?
RODZ ·
Yeah i run shorter length in the beetle. I have 2 brand new in a box here empi 6720 I think they are.
tar76 ·

Going back to those lowered shocks, i put them on the front of the bay, back in August and man they made a difference. Even the wifey notice the difference when she drove down to action day (didn't help her from getting lost tho 😁).
