Mate this is awe-inspiring stuff. I congratulate you for your vision, and committment to following the project through the planning, design, fabrication and now to the installation (then to sorting out the bugs/problems which hopefully will only be minor). Yes I am sure many people will be asking you to develop kits, but I can appreciate the time, money, heartache involved in such a conversion.

Well done! :agree:

Thanks mate, I just hope this thing works as good as it looks. I'll be none too thrilled if it handles like $hit after all the work and money I've put into it. I'm quite confident though that it will be lighter and handle much better than a beam setup. I'm especially hoping that I can head into a fast tight corner and not FEEL like the car is wanting to keep going straight, a problem that I've noticed with lowered Type Is. Anyone else noticed the difference in how a bug handles compared to a modern car? Can you pinpoint the sensation you feel as a driver?

New shocks are on and the travel is PERFECT! The tire just clears turned when on the bump stops, and the droop is great, if not maybe a little too much. We'll have to see.

Hey Jeff! Piss-off You've got a Bus! My Ghia needs it WAAYY before you do.

This morning on my wonderful driveway curb(it's more like a canal) I heard a pop and then my car just felt really low. Got to work, scraping on everything on the way, and found the main shock mount had failed where it welds to the tubing. The original design had a buttress here, but it was changed as part of the area interfered with the shock. Instead of just removing the offending area itthe whole buttress was removed. I thought it looked like a problem point, and sure enough it is. So, I'll probably just bandage it up and ad it to the "to change" list! This is a prime examply on why I havn't sold this suspension to anyone, R&D is an important part of equipment development. I'll get a pic of the actual break later.

No, I didn't just let all the air out of my airbags, this is what it dropped to...



I wonder if the welding was done on both sides of each vertical component it might have been OK...
