    Hey brother, I have been lowering VW beetle since I’ve been 15 years old and never have I ever used that crazy tool. And I’ve also never heard of anyone getting hurt.

      Me as well. Just did my 66' and was all afraid from seeing all these videos. It was an easy fix. I wonder if my plate was just lower tension... hmm

      I swear in the VW world it's like a myth, a unicorn of a story that the spring bars going to remove your arm lol.

    Great video thanks for the tips! at 5:04 you say you must use "appropriate grease" for the bushings so they don't stick or squeek. Can you advise on what type / make you used?

      +Neal F Prothane or Silglide (found at NAPA) works great.

    Thanks for the vid. You mentioned appropriate grease... What is appropriate grease? I can't get my bushings to stop squeaking!!!

    It would've been nice if you would've kept recording to see what troubleshooting you do to get it in right you skip that part it doesn't help us if we run into that issue. But thanks for the video

    Swingaxle boots are installed wrong. The seam should be toward the front instead of the top.

    @Jeremiahparis Před 5 lety

    I saw somewhere that this benifited off road applications somehow and could be used for lifting. Is that accurte?

    I'm looking at getting plates for my Super Beetle, I was curious as to what spring plates were used and how much they lowered the car in the end?

    • @gmc__tanner1192
      @gmc__tanner1192 Před 7 lety

      Clayton Zeches you don't need the plates to lower a vw bug

    • @Mr572u
      @Mr572u Před 4 lety

      Why wouldn’t you just move the stock plate, one tooth at a time. That custom plate does nothing special.

  • @jasonsolis6689
    @jasonsolis6689 Před 7 lety +1

    how much are these?
    do they work on both vw karmann ghia's and vw bugs?
    where are they sold?

      It appears to have been removed from the website. Much like how this video ought to be removed from the internet!

    Outstanding. I am currently on your web site and will be contacting you soon. I have a 71 baja bug with a vw van rear. I want to re do the entire suspension and am not sure where to start. I currently have 31's and love the ride height. I could go a bit higher. Will send email to you soon with pictures and such

    I always hear there is so much pre loaded energy in these plates.. But it's always an anti climax lol, just hit it from the back with a rubber mallet no issues.

  • @agustingonzalezmartinez3841

    David, where you looking somewhere else?

  • @Mr572u
    @Mr572u Před 4 lety +2

    C clamp for safety after the cap is on makes no sense.

  • @MrDozer120
    @MrDozer120 Před rokem

    Why buy different parts when it is so easy to just mark original position of plate then re-clock the spring plate on the torsion bar. Use an angle finder if you want instead of marking the spring plate position if you want. Easy to both lower and raise using original parts. Interesting video though.

    Shit, this whole time I've just been using a hammer and ratchet with sockets to lower the bug.

    There is so many things in this video that made me wonder what this guy was thinking. And it made me nauseous hearing how out of shape he is!
