How to Get Your '66 Vw Fastback Down Low! Penelope Gets Lowered Mileage Unknown!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Damn, that stance dude!

[@mileageunknown8910]

Definitely looking a lot better!

[@jeremydoc]

stance looks great, buddy! I dropped my fronts 3 and the rears 2. Pretty low, I know. and rides like garbage too haha.

[@mileageunknown8910]

Yea mine doesn't ride bad even on the bumps I need 2 pull them and see how much lower it goes I'm probably going 2 have 2 lower the rear. I've been thinking about some adjustable spring plates

[@MashedUpGarage]

Looks much better. Gotta do a lot of measuring to find the widest tires possible

[@mileageunknown8910]

Yeah I kinda jumped in thinking it was all gonna work out lol 😂

[@bava67]

Short axles are the answer to making those tires fit

[@mileageunknown8910]

That's what I was thinking, I don't think the offset of the wheel is great either...... so I'm probably going 2 put some stock tires on them just 2 see how they fit.... now the car sits lower I kinda dig the turtles so I might be spending some time cleaning them up.

[@phxfunfly9083]

You missed a good show today. The stance looks good.

[@mileageunknown8910]

Yeah wish I would've run up 2 that Trav said it was a really good show.

1. no need to disconnect ball joints to lower. unecessary work. 2. all dampers don't auto-extend, only ones with gas or oil/gas mix. oil only will not move by themselves. 3. there are more outer splines than inner (29/31), subtle changes need to be don on outers only, or a combo of inner & outer.

Good video. Haven't seen one from you in a while. Last one was the hard start and starter. I wonder if my 71 fastback was dropped a inch or two? Seems lower than Penelope did before you dropped it. When I have passengers it rubs slightly when turning sharp. I have stock tires on it. Still rides great. Good video. She is looking great.

[@mileageunknown8910]

Definitely sounds lowered a couple notches! I've got stock tires on and no running but I'm definitely on the bump stops so I need 2 cut them down. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@reinaldorivera4158]

Looks like mines I lowered it 2 clicks up front and still stock at rear

[@mileageunknown8910]

Nice! 😜 I'm debating some adjustable spring plates for the rear of mine.

[@reinaldorivera4158]

That’s a good idea I never thought about it and you don’t have to mess with the torsion bar just adjust the plate

[@mileageunknown8910]

@@reinaldorivera4158 that's what I'm thinking and you can really dial it in for the exact stance you're going for.

[@jodylyn6777]

Are you driving her yet?

[@mileageunknown8910]

Been taking her out a bit more!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Cut the bump stops, don’t fully remove them.

[@mileageunknown8910]

That's what I'm thinking 🤔 I'm curious 2 see how much lower it goes might end up doing some adjustable spring plates in the rear

[@bava67]

Taking them off actually works well. If you were slammed I’d say to cut the metal stop holder off

[@mileageunknown8910]

@@bava67 idk how low I wanna go she still rides so nice!

[@fastlane99]

Slam it!

[@mileageunknown8910]

Lol 😂 I still want a nice ride!

[@chriszablocki2460]

I don't think so.

[@mileageunknown8910]

Hmmm 🤔 what don't you think?

[@chriszablocki2460]

@@mileageunknown8910 I don't think I'll be getting low. I think things are going to stay mostly level.
