you can't have "cheap" and "reliable" in the same sentence.

and 'slamming' a bay isn't easy or inexpensive. the least costly way to go about it is to buy the parts yourself already made and install them.

Nate at Wagenswest is the best for parts or the work. or both.

that depends on how low you want to go.

yes.

first start here to see how low you want to go and what rim/tire combos will look like at different heights:

I've been thinking about lowering my westy while its body is off for resto...

I'm curious about the windage with it lowered. At stock ride height on a windy day I can barely keep it behind the lines, will I see any benefit lowering it in those regards? I've been wondering if the rear camber will make it worse

Frank at Franklins VW Werks, slammed my 76 Westy deluxe. He'll have a few choices to lower your bus, cutting turning your stock beam being the most cost effective. He also builds narrowed and fully adjustable front beams amongst other things...
