hello

Thats the wing Steve!

DORIGTT, For the suspention coversion i will use a superbug chassis and fabricate some strut towers and put the chassis straight under my body. The struts will improve suspention travel and give me the ability to play with spring rates much easier.
The steering rack will not gather me more steering lock, but will allow me to position the rack inorder to get the best geometry possible. So at ride hight the arms off the rack are straight not on a angle when the car is lowered, And have shoter ratio steering (1.1:1). With the beam we run about 1-2mm toe in to allow for any slop in the balljoints, I run 3 degrees of camber on the front and 2.5 degrees of caster for the track. With a street car that would be to much camber.

The Bilstien parts are for the strut beetle and are available for shipment to the USA.

Is your car beam or strut?

Cheers alex
