Pan: Custom Front Beam

These are my custom shock towers. The front beam has been modified. The Beam length has been reduced three inches to accommodate my dropped spindles that lowers the car 2.5 inches. The beam is fully adjustable, which can dropped the vehicle another 3 inches in total. To compensate for the lowered vehicle, the shock towers have been completely removed and redesigned. The height of the towers have been raised two inches above stock to increase or preserve the shock travel distance when the car is lowered by the adjustable front-end. If you have ever been to a Volkswagen show before and you managed watched people drive in with their low-riding show Beetles, you can not help but noticed the heads of the drivers bouncing around after encountering the slightest bump (pebble) on the road. This modification was made to eliminate this problem. If you know my height (6'2"), you would understand why I don't want my head bouncing around in my bug.
