Product description
The Volkswagen Beetles 1302 and 1303 are different from all other models at the front. Instead of a torsion spring front axle, these models are equipped with MacPherson struts. This is a type of suspension in which the strut also acts as a support arm and pivot point. Smaller cars, such as our VW Beetle, benefit most from this system, as there is often little room for a larger construction and the struts work independently of each other. The system was invented in the 1920s by Earle S. MacPherson.
These lowered struts are adjustable, in combination with the original springs you can lower your Volkswagen Beetle by 5 to 10 cm. If you also take lowered springs, you can go even lower and you can literally put the car on the ground.
These are not modified original struts, but they have been specially developed for this purpose. The spring plate can be fixed in 5 positions with locking rings.
#3842: Beetle 1302-1303 until July 1973
#3843: Beetle 1303 from August 1973
Warning: Optional shocks are required, you cannot use the original shocks anymore! If you take lowered springs, you can do so for better handling (they are stiffer) but keep in mind that these springs are already lowered by themselves (so you lower more). See the options tab.
