Have recently picked up a 1969 lowlight and im looking at lowering it. What's the best way to go about this? After some advice on what other people have done & if there is anywhere in Australia that sells custom lowing kits (narrowed adjustable beams).
Also wanting to convert to disc brakes on the front & after some advice on this also.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, Cheers.

Drop spindles on the front with late bay discs was a bolt on for my 70 lowlight. But yours might be different being wide 5. If i was you i would keep the drums if they are set up properly they are very good brakes. Also changing to discs means changing to narrow 5 stud pattern very cool feature for early bays INHO, unless you use a sherman or similar wide 5 disc conversion but that will widen your track and cause problems with tires interfering with the guards. So fix brakes good, spindles on front and turn a few splines on the rear good for 3 - 31/2 inch drop a still maintains good ride, and lower you start to talk big $ lots of mods and shit ride.

Been looking around for drop spindles to suit my early bay window and it seems they are in short supply for 68-70 models. I have stumbled across these.. ( http://www.wagenswest.com/partstore/index.php/1968-70-dropped-2-5-inch-drum-s... ) just wondering if anyone has used them before or could point me in the direction of any other brands, possibly cheaper options?

do you want to keep wide 5?

Yea, wanting to keep the original 5x205 rims

Adjusters then. As far as i know (?) drop spindles are only for late disc brake front ends i updated my lowie to late when i installed the drop spindles.
I believe that drop spindles are the most comfortable way to lower and that any lowering more than 3 - 3 1/2 inches is not condusive to smooth ride.
Moderate lowering with adjusters will be fine

Thank you for the input, looks like I might be going down the path of beam adjusters.
