This 4 part series shows how to lower the rear end of the VW Type 3 with independent rear suspension. This video may also apply to other VW models with a similar setup.You can view the support thread at this link.. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=222251
I agree it's a bitch to get the spring plates cleared of the step! Took a couple days and a big lever but ultimately not hard. Also to others asking, as far as I'm aware you cannot lower a bug with this method because the torsion bars in a bug are made up of leaves stacked to form a square rod rather than a splined cylindrical rod.
