Topline Sport+ Lowering Springs (Pair) | VW Super Beetle 1971–1979 | ~1" Drop (87-0308)

Top Line Sport+ Lowering Springs (Pair) — VW Super Beetle Front, ~1" Drop (87-0308)

The Sport+ Spring set replaces your stock Super Beetle front springs exactly, with a few performance upgrades. Expect roughly 3/4" to 1" of front lowering (up to 1-1/2" on heavier convertibles); exact drop varies with the condition of your old springs.

The tapered design adds clearance for oversize tires while still fitting the stock spring holders. Top Line removed the stock spring's non-functional progression and raised the spring rate about 10% over stock. The result stays very streetable and also works with the Versa-Strut lowering kit.

• Do they fit the stock spring holders? Yes. They replace the stock front springs exactly, and the tapered design still fits the stock spring holders.
