    i think you might mean camber. and camber is a fact of life for lowered swing axle vw folks. you can do a trans lift and get low without as much camber. i don't lie to anyone i like vw's. really thinking about pulling my singlecab back off the market.

    if you want a hot rod. sell the bug. if you want a cool lowered vw then drop it and roll. 2.5" dropped spindles are like $200 or less. there's plenty more where that came from but i'll stop there.

    thesamba.com is your best vw resource...ken....

    go to thesamba.com and ask around, you could get a pretty penny for that one and you would even have people from other countries asking to buy it.
    Looks to nice and original to mess with, get a super bettle then break out the torch and welder. Go crazy buying big dollar parts and still have change left over to buy a old ford.
    Old vw are getting high on the expensive list considering what most people bought them for when they were new, and being an oval window in that nice of shape.....$$$$

    having been in the industry for a long time, i can say most of you guys talk tons of ****. that is a nice car, admit it. cant you just apreciate it it for being a nice car. as far as lowering it, it depends on what you want to spend. you can be cheap or expensive. you cant turn adjusters to lower it. there is more to it and as far as build ing a 250 hp motor, id love to see it. get out your wallet. i have a 150 hp in my vert thart runs 13's. don't listen to these guys. go to a vw site before you ruin that oval. i'm sure im not making tons of friends by saying this, but it needs to be said. enough with the vw ****, it's still a nice car. thats what we are all supposed to be about, right?

    Go to any of the sites listed, they are all really good. If it was mine? Older taillights and narrowed beam, 4.5 inch chromies with 135s and 5.5 inch chromies with 185s, nice and low but with a good rake. No caps. VHY White merged header and stinger, healthy, kind of moderate motor for the street, but that's just me....
