What is considered to be the ultimate near bolt in setup for the IRS rear end? Should I automatically go bigger is better or is there a spacific?

Also, what about the front? Lots of people say topline. But they use 10% stiffer springs. For those of you that have 120-150lb front springs. What's it like? Does the car maintain contact patch on rough roads?

1. Both the 911 and the beetle are rear engine rear wheel drive cars.

2. Any of the 944/968 rear suspension parts are a good upgrade for the beetle if you want a wider rear track and suspension adjusability.

3. You really don't need that stiff of a sping in the front since their isn't that much weight in the front of the car.
