Wishbone suspension bolt on kit

Hey DorigTT,

I really appreciate all the support you've given me. Sometimes I was sure I was just plain crazy, so at least I know there are a couple other crazy guys out there too!

Pete, the castor is fixed in the design, but it still uses the stock VW eccentrics, so there is some castor adjustability. I'll have to ask the designer what castor angle it was designed at. Castor is really only for high speed stability, so the less the better as long as it feels comfortable.

I just read this whole thread for the first time. :agree: Walt linked it in in the Volksrods.com forums. It looks like it is coming together nicely. Let us know how it works out!

Let us know how it works out!

and when we can order one ourselfs

will it be possible to lower the front with this setup like with the regular adjustable front axle (if it's in this thread somewhere then I'm sorry I missed it)

Tom, this thing will only come initially in slammed mode. All the geometry is setup for a 17" wheel with 40 series tires just tucked under the fender at ride height. The one I've made that you see in the pictures will run 215s on the front. It sticks out about 1" from a stock fender, I wanted a slightly wider track than stock as my back end is going to be very fat. I've ordered new stock width fenders from Creative Car Craft and Bruce?(the owner) is also making me just some outside fender lips from the stock fender mold. I'm going to graft those to the stock fenders to allow the extra 1" to fit under without making the whole fender wider and making the bumpers look funny. It should like a stretched stock fender or maybe like the eyebrowed german look ones. The problem is then I'll have to do the backs eyebrowed as well, and I really prefer the stock fender lines.

We might make a stock height one if the demand is there, but I really can't imagine someone who is comfortable with stock ride height having the need for better cornering, seems kind of backwards, don't ya think!?

Looks incredible, Jason! Finally all the hard work is starting to really come together. My project (pictures in the "suspension gallery") has been on the road for about a year now (about 2K miles) and I've been able to solve the early problems and "tweak" a few other things along the way. I'm sure you can't wait to check out your set up on the road, as well. Will you be adding an anti-roll bar?

[volkdent]

Pure55, I'm sure an anti-roll bar will come into play soon enough, but for now it's a matter of making it work properly the way it is then adding as is needed. How did you determine how much anti-roll was needed?
