best way to lower the SuperBeetle?

[joetech]

Hi gang, my first post here. Happy to have found a VW site just for my kind of Beetle!

I'm starting to think about disc breaks for the front-end, I already have most of the stock Ghia parts to do this (I'll explore the more sophisticated disc break systems later in life, going 'stock' for now). But since I'm "going-in" to the front like this, lowering the car is also something I'd like to do...

My question:
What's the best way to lower a SuperBeetle? Spindles or suspension (struts)?

If it's spindles, needless to say I'll have to buy aftermarket. But if it's struts, I have a 1973 Super, and I'm not sure just yet if it's an early or late model (gotta check my vin# and get back to this) so I understand that the struts differ on this car...

Cheers,

Joe.
