Can anyone recommend any short front shocks to suit an early bug with adjusters?

The best option is to raise the shock towers and use the stock VW shock, short shocks are usually for another type of car (some use Valiant) but they are much too stiff and ride badly.

I agree with Dave...I have pedders on my lowered (with adjusters) beetle and it rides like it's on the bump stops.
You can get different dampering rates but that costs money.

i just use stockies and they are great

Yeah, I'm beginning to think you're right. I've got stock in mine, but they're old and tired and need replacing. I like the idea of raising the shock towers, but wouldn't know where to start.
I think new stockies might be the go.

Thanks all.

yeah, sorry mine were original and needed changing before i dumperd her. i just got cheapo cofaps ill see how long they last.. were $50ea so cant complain. Monroe make them too.. not sure who else

I use kyb GR2's on my split, they're great

I can raise your towers Brad.
I could also narrow your beam.
I also need a carpet kit. LOL

Mate, that would buy you a nice shag-pile carpet kit.


Seriously though, tell me when you need your carpet done and we'll do some sort of a trade.

Done deal my friend.
