Bolt On A-Arm Suspension, v.3
Here is a new product from one of our fellow VW nuts. He's completed the off-road version, the on road version is still in testing. His off-road one retails for $3200 apparently, just so you have an idea of what this sort of work costs. I hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag for him, but this is a public web page!

I don't think you are responsible for a sackless feline. He's been chatting about it around the different forums and promising the street version for a while (not as long as you , but a while).
Looks very promising. Don't know what he put into development? but the fabrication looks top notch! See if you can get him to post a little and talk about it? Jeff-

Wow, I was wondering where all the hits to my prototype page were coming from......I guess I'd better get this thing rolling.
The street version is a pet project for a slammed manx and if it works well enough. Then I may start producing it. It's totally overdesigned for its purpose and I have some other ideas that will help keep the costs down and the labor to a minimum. Anyway, Thanks for the interest and keep an eye on the website to see my progress. Pete Here's a couple more shots: |

Quality job!
Ideally need to convert to rubber/poly bushes and ball joints for a street car though.. Rich

Awesome work man! Just a few questions.... 1) On the street version will there be any way to adjust the height of the car and will the car be at stock height after the conversion or lower? 2) will this widen the track any, or will it narrow the track to allow larger wheels? thanks Joe

The shock tower is adjustable in 1 inch increments and QA-1 also has a shorter adjustable coilover as well.
Shorter a-arms and steering rods can always be made to narrow the front. |

Really nice Ellobo, you can count me in for a street version if they become available, but one question. Will it be applicable to the LP frame head?

That MGB unit looks very nicely crafted. Thanks Volkdent. Now if only we could turn them into VW heads...

This looks awesome - any chance you have the dimensions on the coil over/control arms - I am definately interested but was actually planning a air ride set-up for my beetle. Wondering if shockwaves etc would fit in there - looks like it

Here's another option, looks like they are producing it now. I wonder what they are asking for it, I think most people who think these things should be cheap will be surprised!
