A few tips...
 
I don't know from where you come, but I would buy a pair of adjusters from the Bus Boys or a shop similar to them and a good mechanic can WIG-weld the front adjusters in, if you are able to to that, ok, but take a look on other welded adjusters, so that you can do it in the correct position. The rear is lowered through adjusting of the original torsion bars, that sit under the 4-point caps.

A good book to read for that is the VW Bus Custom Handbook from Laurence Meredith. Most shops have got this book in stock, like CB Performance.

To get your choice of wheels mounted, e.g. 5x130 7 x 17 Porsche Cup rims, you need adapter plates for the front and for the rear, that adapt from 5 x 112 to 5 x 130.
