...hi,i want to get my car lowered,its a '70 squareback,..i was just wondering at what sort of money i should be looking to pay,..ball park figure!!,just so i dont get stitched up to bad!,...and how involved a job is it...is it something to have a go at yourself???

Yes, I have never done one...

but I believe the front torsion bars are round and can be altered or adjusted...
someone on here can help You..

the rear is the same as a beetles...
Splines... inner and outer adjusted...

yeah man definitely watch the video series on you tube a few times then give it a crack,
it might look a bit confusing but once you get down there it is pretty simple but can be time consuming on your first time.
just take your time and make sure you mark the original height before you begin... and also study the measurements of how far each spline will drop/raise it.

here is a good calculation table for that

yeah it is easy in theory but count on a FULL weekend if it is your first time... and have another car available in case you don't finish in time
