Coil Over Comment In Feb 04 Volks World Mag

[MattKab]

I'm holding back using rear coil overs due to the shear and bending loads on the top bolt. Standard is looking favourite.

Superman, Do the Porsche 951 coil-over conversions simply also rely on the standard M14 1.25mm bottom bolt? I once tried to remove a bent bottom bolt from a very very crashed S2. The rear arm had fractured at the hub flange. I would use these bolts top and bottom. But still mulling over just going up a size in rear torsion bar.

At Vanfest last summer, I introduced myself to Simon Red9. I raised a few concerns to the man regarding the tb front coil-over kit and I respect his answers to my questions. Not my cup of tea but then I'm a Super Beetle driver. His mates cal-look 'test car' looked mint, but not driven daily/hard regularly. This car's front 'kit' was frequently pulled and inspected by himself.

I unduely ended a good thread on here when I voiced my concerns about such a kit being used on a 'daily road' weight torsion bar T1. Sorry if I offended anyone and I think I indirectly broke the product bashing law of GL.com and stayed away for a while

I spend many hours of my working week under rusty Volkswagens and as a tester for the MOT Vehicle Inspectorate, I'd deffinatley have an issue with this idea being used on a T2, atleast. I'd refuse to fit similar to a customers ride and I'd refuse to test a vehicle presented with such a conversion.
