All a matter of how low you want to go really. You can get a couple inches out of a set of weld-in adjusters, or at the other end of the scale, go the
whole hog like Dubnut's 'Lobus'...

like the guys said you cannot lower a kombi without spending $$$ adjusters will set you back about $900 the other alternative is drop spindles if
it's only a couple of inches this probably be the better alternative as you keep your standard suspension travel.

no u cant as the front end works by in the centre of it there is a block that has dipples in it holding it in that postion and only allows minimal
movement (also has grub screw going into it) and the leaves run through this block when puttin in adjusters you grind the little diples off and weld
in adjusters so the block can move freely to you desired height then u lock it off with a grub screw
cheers
