6 Inch Ultimate Narrowed / Adjustable Shockless VW Ball Joint Front Beam - 2112
A better way to lower a Classic Volkswagen Type 1 with ball joint front
suspension (1966 through 1977) other than utilizing adjusters in the
center of the beam is to order an Ultimate Adjustable Front Beam.
The
Ultimate Beam (UB) allows you to adjust your ride height from stock
height down to *seven inches on average. The UB has Delrin bushings, a
steering dampener bracket, and grease-able zerks. The UB showcased here is six inch narrowed, without shock towers (ultra
smooth ride). New torsions, and tie rods, are recommended for the best
overall user experience.

makes the most sense,

There are three ways to lower your 1966 through 1977 Type 1. Good, Better, Best.
Good - Install a pair of adjusters, based on budget and skill set
- no tech support
Better - Install an Ultimate Beam - Tech Support Included
Best - Install an assembled beam like the Stage 1 PRObuilt Beam - Tech Support Included

Replacing the cheap brackets is necessary when doing a Classic VW chassis right. Airkewld has devised a solution for Beetle, Ghia, Thing, and Fridolin chassis when the brake line stands need to be corrected.

Chassis Inspection Plate Kit - 2701
A remedy recommended for many Classic Volkswagen's is the clutch tube coming loose from the stationary bracket inside the chassis tunnel. For years, the hole saw, air chisel, was used to cut open the chassis and hose clamp or zip tie the tube back to the bracket. Now, you can fix it correctly with the Chassis Inspection Plate Kit. Cutting and welding are needed to do this job perfectly.

Six Shooter Clutch Adjustment Nut - 2820
There is a wing nut that, when functioning at its best, is a FIVE-out-of-TEN experience. This original nut would allow the VW owner to adjust his clutch feel to get the right amount of pedal to disengage the clutch. But most of the time, the OEM German wingnut is no longer on the vehicle, and a Chinese soft nut was chosen, and it feels like a week of not shaving your face. Heck, have you ever tried to adjust it when it was cold outside and you were twisting this wing nut, only for you to miss a twist, and like a propeller, it slaps your finger to the point of you letting out a Go#$)$)*_#@)_*$*it!!! Ya, we have all been there. We gave this trick little product a pretty cool name. Yeah, I am biased. We call it the Six Shooter Clutch Adjuster.

Stage 1 PRObuilt Adjustable Shockless Link Pin Beam Complete - 2209
The BEST way to adjust a Classic Volkswagen Type 1 with link pin front suspension (1949 through 1965), is by installing a Complete PRObuilt Beam. When the PRO's say complete, they mean complete. You will not need anything in addition to this assembly.
The Stage 1 Shockless PRObuilt Beam is built on the Ultimate Beam platform. It's made six inches narrower than OEM for that low look and to allow for wider wheels, drop spindles, and disc brakes, that add track width.
The complete beam comes as you see it, spindle to spindle, with an entire PRObuilt steering system installed and ready to bolt in and go. For a
full list of details included with the beam assembly, visit the Complete
Details section
here. This beam replaces the factory beam part number 113401021A.
Contrary to belief, the shockless beam can ride amazingly when using
Airkewld's Delrin bushings. One tip, though, is if the vehicle is
adjusted down, the ride will be rough, lift it an inch, and the ride
improves.

PRObuilt Transaxle Performance - Short Axle - 2310
The BEST way to enjoy the shifting experience at a high performance level (not racing) and low RPM's at higher speeds in a 1949 through 1965 Classic Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle and Karmann Ghia is with a PRObuilt Performance Transaxle equipped with *OEM sized Short Axle/Short Spline Axles (SASS). *(It can fit others, see the Complete Details section for more information).
This transaxle is Perfect for a Performance application. Key features of this transaxle are 3.88 Ring and Pinion,
overdrive 4th, along with new synchros, bearings and seals in a rebuilt
SASS 12 volt platform. It comes with welded gears, steel shift forks,
super diff and heavy duty side plate. All transaxles that come from the PRO's are 12
volt and do not come with OIL. The PRO's recommend
this oil from LAT or this on Amazon. You will need 3.5 quarts normally. No Core is Needed.
The
PRO's offer a few different transaxle's with different axle lengths.
This allows us to fit wheels with different offsets onto cars where as
they wouldn't normally fit. So it is recommended you pick out your
wheels first, run it by the PRO's to see what axle length makes sense,
then choose a Cruiser application, (Freeway Flyer) or Performance
application (not racing but more aggressive driving).
