I've had my bug to 180-190kph ONCE ... at that speed the rear end was VERY unstable. It felt like the rear was floating. This was with 195/65/15 tires, front 3/4" swaybar and no rear swaybar. The shocks were 14yrs old.

I'd like to try this again when I install my 18" wheels and brakes. Since then, I've installed a 20mm front adjustable and 24mm rear adjustable bar but I think I won't be able to hit that speed again as the resistance from the tires will be high. I've only got a 914 2.0 and with the foot to the floor, the car would not accelerate anymore.

I like the idea of looking at the floorpans, thus keeping the body looking stock. I'm not one for huge wings but a CarbonJoe roof spoiler would look nice.

So how do you go about modding the floorpan ? I'm sure a front spoiler would work too but not sure if thats an option for a split.
