Classic VW Type 1 Link Pin Adjusters - 2450
A good way to lower a Classic Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle or Karmann Ghia with link pin front
suspension (
1949 through 1965) is utilizing adjusters in the
center of the beam.
These adjusters will give you the ability to adjust your VW up and down a total of 7.5" when installed at 25 degrees up from parallel to the ground. This means you can go up to stock height at the highest setting and the ability to go down a total of 7.5", but you can set it anywhere you want within that range.
Do not believe the 50/50 garbage out there, it is a Band-aid idea that will only cause more harm. Your factory link pin suspension is designed to be at a stock height, with the arms at a 60 degree angle. The top arm is bottomed out on the stop, the stock shock is maxed out in extension and this is all assumed, that the factory torsions haven't lost any spring tension. (Theortically, if the 50/50 method was put in place with relaxed torsions, you are putting more stress on them to index them higher giving the vehicle an unstable ride. Would it lift it to stock height? Maybe. Would it be good advice to do this to keep your family safe? No.) Installing these adjusters at 25 degrees give you the best use of travel within the range of the factory working components.
There are three ways to lower your 1949 through 1965 Type 1. Good, Better, Best.

Classic VW Bus PRObuilt Drop Spindles | Service | 2444
As of 2023, no company has stepped up and built replacement spindles, stock, or dropped for the Classic Volkswagen Split Window Type 2 Bus. That leaves us in a position to ONLY offer a Drop Spindle Service, meaning your spindles are shipped to the PRO's and the PRO's ship them back to you dropped, and not something the PRO's can offer outright.
This service is only available in the USA. If you are outside the USA, consider the logistical (shipping) cost to get them to us, insured, and return shipping once the PRO's completes the service.
This service will drop your 1955 through 1967 Split Window Type 2 Bus, 3.50" or 90mm.
These spindles would replace the factory stock height spindles with part numbers 211405301A, 211405302A, (1955-1963) and 211405311C, 211405312C, (1964-1967).

We take for granted a vehicle stopping in an adequate amount of time.
Classic Volkswagens don't have brakes that can be counted on, time after
time, at least not on today's highways when needed most. It's time to
change that. It's time to install an American-Made disc brake kit that
exceeds expectations every time. It's time for a set of BAD Series Disc
Brakes from your friends at Airkewld.
The
GEN 2 set of BAD Series Brakes brings new life to a tried and true disc
brake conversion. Any conversion offered by the PRO's will come with
all the necessary parts to install; you will only need to supply the
brake fluid and furnish the lug nuts required to fit your actual wheels.
If you need to know what you need,
check out this article.

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 bus at stock height looks like off the showroom floor,
over a 5" gap between the top of the tire and the upper fender arch.
Even the rear wheels have some positive camber.
The products supplied in this kit will lift the vehicle back up to stock height, then lower it by 3.5" and 4".

PRObuilt Transaxle Performance - Long Axle - 2315
The BEST way to enjoy the shifting experience at a high performance level (not racing) and low RPM's at higher speeds in a 1966 through 1968 Classic Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle and Karmann Ghia is with a PRObuilt Performance Transaxle equipped with *OEM sized Long Axle/Short Spline Axles (LASS) or Long Axle/Long Spline Axles (LALS). *(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.
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).
No Core is Needed.

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.
