I purchased a new pair of EMPI Lowered Shocks Ball Joint style 66-77 Bug/Ghia for 50 Bucks asking for 25 because they will just sit here dad can't use them because he has a Super. Have some thing to trade?! Let me know.

I found KYB Lowered front Shocks and Regular Rear Shocks and I'm going to go with KYB because they have a better rep.

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

Jay i heard that if you lower a car any you need to change the shocks to compisate for the shoter distance traveled of the shock

  I could be wrong but I believe that if you use dropped spindles the shocks stay in stock position.
At least that's what I did on mine with dropped spindles, I used stock shocks.

6T5 square

The square has been lowered in the front and I still use stock shocks. If your front axle can knock over a standing beer can- use stock . If you can drag the can- use lowered.
