Suspension ideas for road racing
I want a suspension setup for road racing a Super Beetle w/ high gearing & high horsepower (high for road racing). Any ideas welcome. Any thing from mild to wild. It doesn't matter if it is full coilover or springs & struts. I would like to be able to do a 4 wheel drift at 120mph, for those uhoh moments.
 :idea: :help:

Doesn't anyone her autocross or club race? I would like to hear your setups that you may have used. I admit that the whole 120mph thing is a bit excessive but, I would like to have good control near 100mph!

Where are you that you have access to facilities that allow you to practice controlling 4-wheel drifts at anything over 30mph?
Judging from the 56 (at the time of my reply) views of this inquiry, this post may be ignored due to your performance demands of vehicles which were never designed for such antics. Heck most cars aren't either. Our cars are great platforms for modification and various forms of motorsport fun. There comes a time when if you want a flying squirrel, get one. Cutting the wings off a pigeon and putting them on a ground squirrel isn't going to 'fly'. The only place I would attempt (and I like life on the edge of stupidity sometimes) such antics in one of our cars would be on GT4 in the safety of my livingroom! Not meant to discourage, only to be what I consider realistic. Last edited by DORIGTT; February 4th 2006 at 08:52.

Ditto, if that kind of driving is what you seek, you could build a bug to do it, but it would be essentially a dedicated race car, tube chassis frame for strength and SAFETY issues, and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of $ and/or time.

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but have you ever 4wheel drifted over 30 mph? 120mph drift isn't an uh-oh, it's darwinism at work unless you are a race car driver
 Lotsa' good stuff on this site, but be realistic about what you want to acheive.
