How do you lower front 1970 vw bug?

Answer 1

there are 3 options that work well.

1 buy drop spindles - this is probably the most expensive option but it is also the best option. you don't compromise any suspension when you use this method.

2 have adjusters installed - this is a fairly good option. this way you can adjust the height of the bug in minutes. from really low, to stock height. [ you can also use them to raise a but]

3 have your beam cut and turned - this is however irreversible. you have the beam welded to a lower position and it cannot be adjusted back to stock.

Answer 2

You have a few choices here, and it all depends on the almighty dollar... The cheapest way is to simply cut one of the coils out of the springs and replace the bushings with a stiffer set... This will cause your tires to fall WAY out of alignment... Thesamba.com has some vendors that make complete drop kits, I got my 3" drop on my 66 bus for around 500 usd... There are alot of aftermarket drop springs and coil-over kits out there, you just gotta find the right application that suits your driving style...
