Is it a Super Beetle or a torsion bar front end Beetle...
Big difference...
Super Beetles are way too high at the front....
but they should be easier to lower...
as they have coil springs. but when lowered, that is the height You are stuck with.. with torsion bar beetles You can wind the front up or down
whenever You want to...
If it is a standard torsion bar Beetle, You can adjust it up or down with a couple of spanners...
and I have used castor shims on My torsion bar Beetle...
