Lowered Late Bug
You will need to inspect what type of suspension is fitted to your late Beetle.
From 1968 on, beam suspension progressed to a ball joint configuration on the beam assembly. Later Beetles from 1971 also had an option using McPherson strut assemblies on the front suspension.
If you are unsure what suspension type you have fitted to your car, you email photos through and we confirm this for you and what suspension parts you will need. Email us at technical@freshkustoms.com

The Fresh Kustoms unique weld in drop plates for type 1 IRS suspension allow stock ride quality with a lowered stance. Height adjustment with the FK drop plates can be carried out within 1 hour as no spring plate indexing is required. Tyre to spring plate clearance is maintained also as there are no threaded blocks in the way like other adjustable spring plate designs. Utilising the strength of the factory forged steel section on the IRS arm the Fresh Kustoms weld on drop plate adapter wraps around the original forged section and is then welded into position to provide maximum strength. The steel chosen for this adapter is of a high tensile quality so you can rest assured it will never bend out of shape. The FK design allows for the arm to be positioned in 4 different height settings with each setting lowering the vehicle in 2 inch increments. This system also uses the original mounting hardware between the spring plate and arm. Height settings with the spring plate positioned at stock ride height are -
- Stock Height
- 2 inches lowered
- 4 inches lowered
- 6 inches lowered
