I'd like to lower my 1975 1303 L Bug, both front and rear.
I've been told to swap out the rear torsion bars for type 3 bars and move the spline position to achieve a lower stance. Any on-line clips I could be
directed to for instruction?
Thanks for any assistance or leads.
Cheers,
Willie.
Just adjust the rear torsion bars dont swap them, and buy a set of adjustable front struts from http://www.cip1.com
Has anyone used the Empi ones on their ^ website and have some feedback? Or are they like other Empi parts and I should steer clear???
Go to the Super Beetles Only (SBO) forum http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/forum/ - there is a lot of info about different types etc. on here.
Ive used the ones form Vintage Vee Dub, very good quality, you get what you pay for
My new Topline Maxx struts just arrived from the States. Worth it if you want to put on bigger rims. http://toplineparts.com/lower-your.html
I have a pair of 2 bolt struts , complete, unused...

Adjustable.
Hey Willie. I have a set of very good quality/used adjustable 3 bolt lower front struts. Also have strut brace (3 bolt) and heavy duty Kmac sway bar if interested.

If your wanting to go to wider wheels you have to go with a skinny spring strut. Your car should be 2 bolt but who knows after all these years.
Definitely 2 bolt. Have investigated the difference and understand what that difference is now. Will send pm to cbjohn now.....
