Camber plates.

I am thinking,? I should bust out the TIG and mod these up to fit a Super Beetle strut tower.
Who's with me?

Where did you get those and how much?

Those are very desirable for a couple reasons. Mostly the camber/caster adjustability but also because you can effectively raise the strut mount height which keeps your suspension travel at a reasonable level while lowering ride height.

Only if you promise not to tell anyone else
Got them from Tangerine Racing. Were supposed to be used on my 914 Chalon project. But I am selling that to concentrate on my Super and My German look 1970 Squareback. Here is the link. They also make some KICK A*# Exhaust for type 4 into type 1 conversions. Tell them Zach, From California Connection sent you, And he will take good care of you. They are $550 Shipped in ConU.S. for the complete set.Here's the Link.

I've known of Chris and his exhausts for a while, quite a few 914 guys are running his setups but I didn't know he had branched out, that's pretty cool

How much camber adjustment do they give? I see they also have slotted holes for caster adjustemnt? - how much adjustment and whats the starting point? This is just as important on a super but few system even address it.

I see that, but normally you have the big amount of adjustment for camber, caster is normally relatively fixed so I think it would be better to have them the other way around..
