One day I will have my ghia on here, but in the mean time here is the video of the lowest (known) bug out there. His name on thesamba is Hobbes.

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

^^^ They raised the transmission in order to get a lower stance without even more excess camper on the swingaxle setup.

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.
