rear shocks for beetle
battybat - April 8th, 2005 at 03:24 PM

Hi guys

looking for some opinions on rear shocks (and front too) for a 68 beetle. It's going back together pretty stock at first, but ! may as well try to get the optimum handling ready for more power!

it's a swing arm model, and I've re-bushed the torsion bar with poly bushes, and have ordered poly gearbx mounts and bump stops.

I'm running 205/75/15 tyres on the back, so there's not a lot of room under the guards for any movement!!

what's out there, what's affordable, and what are you using?

cheers

Terry

Koni , rebuildable, painted red, don't know there model number/type but are the best i have used by far and much more comfortable than gas.
