It's proven very difficult to get specific answers and compare apples with apples, so please bare with me here....
As the title suggests ladies and gentlemen.... I would like some visual evidence to determine the direction for the 68.... I know there are stance threads galore around the globe, but few cover all the questions... The look is all well and good, but details are whats needed here.... As an example, Wilf's (gingerporsche) Green Beast is the dream, but I think there was some chopping required to get it there.... I don't really want to do that....
Obviously there are few questions that need to be cleared up here.... Since there is not a lot of real knowledge about these options in this neck of the woods, inquiries are hard to validate.
So I turn to you guys.... I want the bus to sit level and about 150-200mm lower than stock.... The plan is to run either my FUCH's (7's and 6's) or my Merc steelies (16x7.5's).... Having run both these options on other VW's in the past, I know what's needed to make it happen... The real issues relate to front suspension spec.... The rear is in hand.... So to speak.
Thinking about a mild narrowing with this one.... Somewhere in the region of 80-100mm..... With a minimum clearance of of 120mm to the lowest point.
So the questions are.....
Firstly: If I were to fit a K&L Beam with drop spindles, realistically how low can one go without notching?....
Secondly: How does that compare with the equivalent BJ Beam (ie: drop spindles, adjusters etc)?
Anyone got any images to share to support their statements?
Cheers....
