Here's mine. 4 inch narrowed beam. With 2 1/2 drop spindles. And I'm a fan of either or. Narrowed or not. |
Are you running drums or disc up front? I have Porsche alloys and have disc brakes with a stock adjustable beam (dropped all the way) and was wondering how narrow i should go so i can install some dropped spindles and get a comfortable ride back.
Thanks _________________ ( O \ l / O ) |

^^^ They raised the transmission in order to get a lower stance without even more excess camper on the swingaxle setup. _________________ nothing |

That's what I thought, did they raise the torsion housing as well? I haven't been underneath a Bug in over 30 years but I am looking forward to getting another in the future and doing some serious pan/suspension mods to get real low with minimal camber. |

Not sure, but probably. There are a few ways this has been done. _________________ nothing |
