I have a vw oval that I need to raise back to stock height, it has a adjustable beam,
It's lowered decently, with Porsche alloy wheels, but I always like the stock wheels and white walls

My question is what parts do I need to get it back to stock height

Any help is appreciated

if your swing arm is straight like this all you would need to do is reindex the torsion bars. I say that like it is just a few pleasant moments under the car. It took me maybe 3 hours to set one side. About an hour to set the other side once I had figured out how to get the swing arm swung down without injuring myself.

Bottom thing is a lowering swing arm. It does not go straight allowing the axel to sit lower with the torsion arms at their designed setting.
