Super into Standard?

When installing superbeetle front struts into a standard body, how are they aligned? Is there an optimal angle? Are the factory settings a good start for good cornering? How about high speed stability?

I can't help you with any of this info but can give a contact...

Write to Eric plumbugracer@superbeetlesonly.com and ask him about the red Bug he use to race along because that guy did it.

Also, on the STF, there was a '55 Oval owner in Cali that did it, I think his username was '55 Superbeetle.

Thanks Superman.

Do you know if he is on these boards? Maybe I will ask him to write an article for the Tech section, if someone hasn't already.
