1971 Superbug German Look
graeme86 - December 7th, 2002 at 12:35 AM

I have a 1971 Superbug with 17 inch Carrera 2 alloys. Front stuts are height adjustable Kerscher with smaller springs allowing a 205/45 front tyre on 7 inch rim under stock guard. Back is still to be lowered a bit. Front discs are CSP 5 x 130 bolt pattern Beetle discs. Rear hubs are 944 with internal handbrake with MBT adapter so that stock handbrake cable can be used. Rear disc is a non vented 356 as I wanted to use my existing 914 calipers. Rear tyres are 215/45 on 7 inch rim - again under stock guard.

Very nice mate. So what was your address again, I just need to come and steal all your wheels and running gear..... : ) jokes.

I only wish I could afford Porsche cup wheels.
