rat beetle JACK
we just picked up a 68 semi auto beetle
will sort out the semi auto clunkyness first then rust repair in the battery area
thinking of lowering the front - whats the go here - will 2&1/2 inch dropped spindles do the trick ??
advice would be nice
also need some rusty roof racks if anyone got em

sounds like fun, i always thought 2 1/2 inch dropped spindles wasnt enough, but for an every day road car they do a beautiful job, my bro got em on his, with a standard beam.

i was concerned about the tyres rubbing on the guards with the spindles on a standard beam
where did your brother get the spindles and how much ??

my bro got a bulk order of bits from the USA when the exchange rate was really good, so im not sure on the price, otherwise the discs bought the wheels out more than the spindles did, but with stock wheels i dont see it being a problem. check out my albums theres a few pics there of his car, its got 6 inch pursuit rims on it with 45 series tyres
