Default 72 street rod bug suspension.

I'm a new guy here so be gentle. Been restoring,rebuilding my 72 bug for 2 years. It runs good now, so most of the work has been cosmetic (body work,interior,etc) I really like the lowered look on many bugs, but have yet to learn how it's done. Especially the rear. I see plenty of parts available to lower the front, but how do I go about dropping the whole car about 2 inches?

Default RE: 72 street rod bug suspension.

droped spindles in the front very easy 2 hours max
rear you need to pull rear torshen down and move it one tooth on the rod. itsnot thatcomplicatedbut you need to know what you are doing sence it is all spring loaded
i have heard of people loosing fingers doing it
i have done tons of them lowering and rasing and i can still count to ten on my hands
