Classic Volkswagen WELD-IN Adjusters to LOWER your Beetle and Karmann Ghia

[@brianthomas2948]

Perfect thank you

[@blakeerdmann]

so if I put the beam on a bench vertically level and weld the adjusters in at a 25 degree angle how much of a drop will that give me. I will be ordering these from you guys very soon! sorry for all the questions.

[@AirkewldVWs]

7.5"

[@michaelcrawford4940]

Why is there another screw in the adjusting sleeve? Do you need it or is the one that engages the recess in the leaf springs enough?

[@AirkewldVWs]

It indexes the assembly another 90 degrees so that the adjuster isn’t dragging the ground

[@blakeerdmann]

how do you determine what angle to weld in the adjuster?

[@AirkewldVWs]

We determine the pre-load angle and the ability to get to stock height and then the adjusters will allow 7.5" of drop. Currently, we like 25 degrees.

[@michaelknight2897]

could you cut an extra inch off each end, and the torsion bars, while installing this to narrow a beam?

[@AirkewldVWs]

You could but you would then need to relocate the uprights to be able to bolt on to the chassis.

[@michaelknight2897]

@@AirkewldVWs Yeah, its easy enough to remove them. I was hoping someone sold them. I have a feeling I will butcher them a big when if I try to remove them. I will have to think about it. I am definitely using your adjusters. I am not looking to slam the front end. My concern is that with disk brakes and lowering it roughly 2.5 to 3 inches I will be forced to use skinnier tires. I don't want to go any lower than 165s.

[@sldnx500]

can they also be used to lift the front?

[@AirkewldVWs]

Link Pin and Ball Joint application can lift the vehicle to Stock height but not past it. They can only articulate so much before things start to get crazy.

[@tbay996]

If I use these can I still run stock spindle’s. If so how much drop should I get.

[@AirkewldVWs]

Thanks for the comment T bay, the adjusters have about 7.5" of adjustment in them at 25 degrees.

[@tbay996]

@@AirkewldVWs just for clarification, if I’m using stock spindle’s at 25 degrees, are all 7.5” of adjustment in the drop or is that basically a neutral position with 3.75” going either way. Appreciate the reply and additional information.

[@AirkewldVWs]

@@tbay996 You can't go higher than the stock ball joints allow. The 50/50 is a myth that was never thought out. You can only use the articulation in the ball joint. No more, no less. Hope this helps.

[@colinrobinson6337]

I have this on my 64 beetle that I bought a couple years ago. It's at the highest setting and the car is about 3" off the ground. I'd like to go higher (2-3 inches). Can you "re index" the one top screw so that maybe where it's at now (the highest) is now the lowest setting? If that makes any sense.

[@AirkewldVWs]

Hey Colin, thanks for commenting. Can you elaborate a little? Do you have this exact adjuster? Was it installed at 17 or 25 degrees?

[@colinrobinson6337]

@@AirkewldVWs I actually don't know. It looks similar. I'd say it's at 17 degrees.

[@AirkewldVWs]

I would find out if you have all your torsions it in first. I would then see if you shocks are fully extended. If they are, remove them and adjust the beam up some more.

[@vwmadness1591]

I dont see these on your website

[@jeffbowerman9154]

I bought these, did everything thing as described, sad thing after power coating can’t get the correct height, I advise to not waste money.

[@AirkewldVWs]

And publicly criticizing the product makes more sense rather than having a conversation to see how and why you had the results you did and come up with an adjustment here or there? 👌🏻

[@crteaser9726]

Won't you lose all torsion from this?

[@AirkewldVWs]

No sir

[@MP-hx8fs]

Do you sell ones for a 69 bug?

[@AirkewldVWs]

Michael Park we do indeed
