i neva got around to doing mine........ i guess till you hit the bump stops..... i think it is the bottom torsion bar thet is splined on the front and the top acts as sway bar??? i think you remove trailing arms and turn a couple of splines simliar to the back of a bug

I have a page about lowering type 3 front ends saved on my puter at work. Tomorrow I will post link to the site in question. Just reverse what it says.

Raise the front ! WTF!!!
