The torsion bar cover and the trailing arm attachment are aluminum and the adjusting rod is steel. They are for use with stock steel beetle arms. As far as marketing these I would change the design a little so they could be made faster. There is about 3 hours on a CNC mill to make those. I'm working on a simpler design. Anyone know where I can get some coilovers in North America?

VW1303,
Those are sick! (In a positive way). Amazing work. I've been working on something like that for a while, but I'm almost embaressed to show pics when compared to yours.

Great job.

That looks great!

As far as a coilover, maybe you could work with Topline. Check out some of the stuff they have made so far- http://www.toplineparts.com/frameset.html

If you do market these, sign me up on the waiting list!
