Modern Suspension on an AirCooled...
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 10:47 am
Hi Volks;
I am curious to find out if any members are running a modern suspension set up on their ACVWs and how much better the handling is than the stock set up if at all.
Something in the realm of:
-Twin wishbone coilover suspension with rack and pinion steering(bolts on).
-Framehead kit bolts on to the front of your chassis, replacing the beam.
-Complete to the spindles and rack and pinion steering.
-Adjustable for height, stiffness, camber, caster and toe.
-Stock spindles so that all current brake upgrades can still be used.
Rear coilover conversion with uniball plates to replace the stock spring plates and enable the torsion bars to be removed.
-Bolt in the coilover units, setting the ride height.
-Uniball trailing arm and coilovers.
Thanks.
