Title: How long to lower / raise beetle
Post by: AirCooledRules on June 21, 2012, 10:46:46 AM

How long should it take to lower or raise the rear of a 1960 beetle if you know what you are doing and have done it before ?

My beetle is to low to drive and I need to raise it a notch.  Thanks

I would agree however my exhaust dragging on the ground disagrees.

Jakub if your replace those rear tires to a correct size it will be at a good height . 50 series in the rear is too small in my opinion
