Whoa....I couldn't find ANYTHING other than Maxx struts for front coil-overs....damn.....those varistruts look sick. Any pics of the Aldan set-up? Ohlins eh? I would deinitly love to hop on a set of those.....
This is what I was hoping to hear that there were other options for front coil-overs that are 80mm springs....

Ohlins!
[QUOTE=oicdn]Ohlins eh? I would deinitly love to hop on a set of those.....
Yeah I would to, i contacted Jeff, the head guy for the U.S. and for the TTX40's...are you ready...(drum roll) $3099... EACH SHOCK!!!!! Yeah, $12,396 for the whole shebang. Audi uses them on their LeMans cars I.E. R8, and it seems there is no reason to try racing against audi in LeMans because they have'nt lost a race for like 10 years. Yeah the Porsche GT1 races in LeMans. I would definately love to hop on a set of those as well... If i was spending 100 freaking grand on my not so humble beetle. I think I am Gonna make my own Red9 setup for the front with one of the companies metioned above. I like the Idea of going with bilstein because of the quality of the shock, but I spoke with a Rep in Indianapolis and he said with such a light car going with them since no bilsteins are externally adjustable, the handleing would suffer with either going with stiff valving for race, or medium valving for performance street. Either one would suffer in the opposite category. So that is why I'm toying with the thought of going with someone else. Any expirince would be helpful and what spring rate to use front and rear would help as well. I'm at a $1000 per pair limit so no Ohlins and I dont know the quality of the red 9 setup.
