If you've ever thought about lowering the back end of your VW Beetle, this is the video for you. Follow along as we show you step by step how to lower the rear end of a vintage Volkswagen Beetle. There are no parts needed to swap out for this one, just a handy set of tools. This is a great and simple DIY project for you to do at home.

Disclaimer: Use extreme caution when removing the spring plate, as it is held under extreme tension. We highly recommend clearing the area below the Spring Plate of any tools, debris and make certain to stay clear of moving parts during removal. When the Spring Plate clears the housing it will release downward with an extreme amount of force and may cause injury if proper precautions are not taken.
