My 924 daily has been lowered a little by the PO using an apex kit, I'd like to go a little lower...anyone have first hand/real world experience of lowering a 924? I'm guessing the rear is the same as a VW and is just a case of turning the splines? But the front??

The fronts use a macpherson strut so either lowering springs or height adjustable coilovers will take it down.

The rears can be lowered on the eccentric adjusters but this offers a limited amount. To correctly lower it the rear beam needs to be indexed although this becomes quite an involved job all of a sudden since you need to remove the rear beam (you could cheat and drill two circular holes in the right place (some people do have templates for this)). IIRC are you not changing the clutch anyway? If so you could combine the lowering and clutch change together  . |

If everything has been undone re-indexing is not quite as bad but it is tedious.

Not miles away, but of course everything is accessible on a Beetle . |
