how low in inches can you actually go in the rear?
Front will go down bout 5" up front with just my rims and tires Shocked
So is it possible w/o cutting anything, to lower the rear 4"? So i dont need shims basically, thats why im asking.

Its for a 72 bug by the way.

I think this question is best asked on another forum. For most of us the rear stays at stock height, or pretty close to it.
