Volkdent, do you know which QA1 coilover kit would fit the front of my ball joint standard beetle?

I think it will depend on what your ride height will be and what sort of travel you want. I think they make a combo shock that has an eyelet on one side and a rod on the other, so you should be able to make that one work. Look on Summit Racing's website under suspension and look at the different shock styles they have. They are quite adjustable, so valving shouldn't be a problem.

I thought about adding coil overs to the rear and Maybe the front, I just don't know which ones. I saw the QA1's in my summit catalog.

Any help?

If you contact QA1 I'm sure you could get a pair of these made with the threads for a coilover. Looks like it would bolt right on to a BJ front end after removal of the lower bar and the addition of some sort of sleeve.

Is anyone running these on their street car? I am interested in how these are setup, they look nice, what springs are being run? anyone?
