It was already converted to bug IRS when I got it. It uses bolt on pivots for the front of the control arms, and had regular steel bug control arms, drum brakes, etc.
I changed everything but the front pivots though, coilovers replaced torsions, chromo narrowed arms replaced the bug ones, disc brakes, hiem joint replaced the spring plates. Still running a stock type 1 box.
Several places make kits to convert to bug IRS, check Wolfgang International, Franklins VW Werks, and I think my front pivot kit came from Bus Boys. There's also something called a "straight axle kit" but I'm not sure what that does? Maybe a way to just lose the reduction boxes and keep everything else?
