Lowering Beetle
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me roughly what the process is for lowering a 74 Super and approx costs. Want it do well without spending a fortune. Only thinking
of dropping a couple of inches, not scraping along the ground.
Also any recommendations on who to take it too in Melbourne.
Thanks
Marty

ok a super needs you to redo the front struts the best way is to replace them with adjustable struts, ether maxx or the ones from richard at v force.
these cost about $1000 a set and they will allow you to adjust your height as needed. other than that hows your machining and welding skills as you
can move the spring cup down and that can give you a couple of inches but not to be done if you dont have the skills

a couple good discussions and pics.
Need to decide what 74 you have.
"Should" be 2 bolt but could be an early 3 bolter
