Finally got round to lowering the bug more, I'm now down to 2 splines on the rear, and as far as adjusters will go on the front, STILL the front doesnt appear to be as low as the rear but when you look underneeth, the lowest part of the bug is the roll bar/adjuster bolt thing!!!
Whilst dodging the rain i got a few pictures! Doesnt do the new lowering justice as the lowest / best part is the rear of the bug and i just missed it out, was panicin from the rain getting on my cam so just grabbed a few shots and got home
Heres my Dad , the mechanic in the house.. notchin my spring plates
On this pic. look in the centre of the image, up a bit and theres a black mark, and a dent! thats what daily use does to it

Hallo Benny,
sweet ride! If you plan on driving the car this low, you might want to consider replacing your rear wheel bearings with encapsulated ones. Otherwise you may end up with shot bearings before long, since the angle of the axle tubes will not allow enough oil to reach the bearings and they will run hot.
Been there, done that
By the way - i'm back to stock height. Just got tired of hearing my oil pan screeching on the tarmac.
