guessing by ur sig its the Lbug?

how low are u wanting to go??

i had mine stupidly low b4 i raised it back up abut
sway bar was 47mm off the black stuff with 1/2 tank of fuel and noone in it
very short lived cos i wore down the swaybar clamps in no time at all and just couldnt get over speedbumps/ driveway gutters without taking half an hour

best bet is adjustable struts, gives ur the chance to play with the ride height without much effort

thanks mate , i think i might go ajustable but they sound expensive. do you know how much they will set me back.

Topline in the USA will have them on your door step for under $600 and they are very good quality. That is about half what the Aussie Shops will sting you for them. - http://www.toplineparts.com/ 

I got all my parts from Jon and he is very good to deal with and doesn't rip you off.
