Complete 1969-77 VW Beetle/Ghia PRObuilt Lowering Kit - 2173 Complete 1969-77 VW Beetle/Ghia PRObuilt Lowering Kit - 2173

The Great way to lower 1969 through 1977 Classic Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle and Karmann Ghia is with a Complete PRObuilt Lowering Kit from Airkewld. It lowers the vehicle from 2.50" or 63mm to 10" or 254mm up front and from stock height to 6" or 150mm in the rear.

Stock is a relative term. Even though you have not changed anything over time, you are assessing the vehicle's overall height as it currently sits. But it has relaxed over time, gradually starting to sag. This is what a stock Beetle at stock height looks like off the showroom floor, over a 6" gap between the top of the tire and the upper fender arch. Even the rear wheels have some positive camber.

a PRO's Take | Product Advice & Recommendation
"A kit is a kit when you have all the pieces needed to do the job correctly. A "kit" without everything you need is a headache, that is going to happen, probably based on money. The PRO's will guide you down the right path my friend. It is the only way for us to succeed is by your happiness with customer service and meeting or exceeding expectations."

Trust is earned and reputation makes decisions easy. - Airkewld CEO Pete Skiba
