Question KONI coilover

I have a 1975 bettle.

I'm planing on puting coilovers in all four coners of the car.

I have a CSP käfer-cup bar in the rear.

What's the Koni part number for yellow koni's coilovers front? rear?

As far as I know they do not exist as an of the shelf product. Maybe shock inserts.
I assume it is a 75 Super. I know of Bilstein coilovers from Remmele and Topline makes coilovers too. I think LAPerformance makes front coilovers too but I do not know what shocks they use.
Also KAW makes coilovers for the front and rear of a Super but the only coilover for Standard beetles I know of is the Kit from Red9Design for the front.

Hope that helps.

Alex

Jon at Topline said he would modify Koni's to fit Maxx's. That's what I'm doing. Not a bid price difference either. They are Rabbit inserts....NOT THE EXTERNALLY ADJUSTABLES.

Have you tried Kerscher tuning,Iv'e bought a pair and Im sure they use Koni
shocks with eibach springs..the shock is also externaly adjustable from the top.They do a red for the road and a yellow for the track.
Hope this helps

I'm using Kerscher coilovers in the front but I changed the shock absorber to koni yellows top adjustable. I took out the old koni red with came with the coilovers and went to a koni dealer compare the yellow with the red and got the top adjustable ones, easier to adjust. . Rear is the MBT coilover kit, too its very easy to adjust.

No worries, I'll post some pictures, I bought the kit directly from MBT. I spoke with Uwe and he was very helpful. Now their website is in german only, it use to have an english version.

I always used the photo program on my computer. I would bring up the photo and then re-save it at a smaller size. I think 640 X 800 resolution or something close to that.
