Hey everybody so I have found myself a 66 bug but it has standard ride height and stock beam and I'm looking a adjustable 4" narrowed front beam and everthing I need to drop it at the rear (going by pics I'm only looking it dropped one spline) but not sure what all I need or where to get it and is there anybody local could do the work ? cheers in advance |

Dropping the rear end is really simple, basically just take the plate off move it round one spline and put it back on. And to be honest the front isnt that much more complicated either, just buy the new beam, remove everything you need off the old beam and put it on the new one, and then fit the new one back into the car. The only other stuff you'll need is a set of lowered shocks and possibly your rubber items will probably be perrished, and while you have the beam out it would be good practice to replace them anyway. Basically, its very much a job you could do yourself and save the expense. There are plenty of step by step articles online and video clips on YouTube, or if you cant find any let me know and I'll hoke one out for you. And if you are really not comfortable with doing the work yourself I'm sure there is someone local to you that would do it, so where abouts in the country are you? lol |
