So, what is the best, cheapest way to lower the front beam on a 1969 beetle chassis....??? Kit car friends need to know...
"Ok VW guys, I like my Ghia front end, it gives me disk brakes. But it is too stiff and too tall. Sooo, what I've figured to do is lose the torsion bar springs and go with shorter coil over air shocks, than I can pump them when going through a big dip. But how do I do that ? I can't just remove the springs, they hold the arms on. Removing the lock nuts in the middle of the tubes are only locators, Right? Are the dimples in the middle of the tubes holding the center mounts and if I grind out the dimple and remove the lock nuts, will that free up the springs ? Suggestions...."
