Complete Lowering Drop Kit | 4 Inch Narrowed | Drum Spindles | 1966-1968 Classic VW Type 1 Beetle Ghia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - "Lower your VW the right way—this complete kit provides every part you need, engineered for stance, handling, and confidence only Airkewld delivers." - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best way to lower a 1966–1968 Classic Volkswagen Beetle or Karmann Ghia is with a Complete PRObuilt Lowering Kit from Airkewld. This bolt-on solution lets you dial in the perfect stance—2.5" to 10" of drop in the front and stock height to 6" of drop in the rear—while maintaining safety, strength, and precision.

Remember, stock height is relative. Even if your suspension hasn’t been altered, torsion bars sag with time, giving your VW a lower-than-original look. Fresh out of the showroom, a Beetle had a 6" fender-to-tire gap up front and a touch of positive camber in the rear. This kit restores full adjustability while giving you the flexibility to set your ride exactly where you want it.

FAQ

Do I need to cut the body to install this kit?
No. The beam’s inside dimension is 29 13/16", leaving 1/16" of clearance on each side.

How can a 4" narrowed beam fit if there’s only 1/2" clearance per side?
We rework the tube ends and gusset outward, giving the proper spacing.

Will your BAD Series Brakes fit?
Yes. GEN 1 & GEN 2 BAD Series Brakes fit all DRUM Drop Spindles in this kit.

Are the PRObuilt Arms rebuilt originals?
Yes, OEM arms are audited, straightened, powder coated, and fitted with premium ball joints. They may show “history marks,” but all meet strict QC standards.

Do you need my old arms?
Not required, but we’re always looking for good cores. Check out our core collective marketplace here.
