Not wrong Brad, I will be seeing the guys at COR about Shockies a bit closer to the finish.
At least the paint lasted 2 years even though the shockies were dead after 6 months.

Howdy Steff No real time plan just as fast as we can and the wallet can afford.
Yeh chuck them in they will go nice on my mates the Hot rod CB thats in the yard.
The plans well IRS 1600 box, 2in body lift, adjustable front beam, new shockies all round, new paint job inside and out.
Marc
Ok Brad you got my attention how would you clearance stock ones?
This stuff is all new to me.
To clearance them you just pull the boots off and die grind where they hit on full travel, the trick is the angle you do and only doing one side, they are either raised or lowered but never both. Then you just judge how much meat you take out.

Because these one's are the cheapo ones,the shocks died real fast, getting good ones soon.

so there's no problems with decent coilovers on beetles ? also, how hard is it to fit them to a '69 beetle (sorry for the thread hijack)
They bolt up the same standard and they also raise the body up with the coils.
Marc
mmmmmmmmm perhaps its a good time fit a ghia body with baja gaurds glassed on.....................go on you know you want too.
