I'm going to use stock bug A Arms which are the single spring plate type as they are lighter than the double type! Not sure if they are the best but i'd heard about porsche arms widening the track!

Ive got some narrowed single plate type Arms for sale . Taken 22mm or 7/8" if you are old  Roll Eyes out of either side for anyone who wants to stick some large rubber under their rear arch's  Cool

About the arms, I have heard that early 924s has the same width as 1302-03, disc brakes includes?

Do you think I will have clearance problems if I use this type of arms on a stock 58 sedan? I don't plan to use extra width tyres.

Early 924s use Beetle TAs, and Beetle rear DRUM brakes (with a different bolt pattern).
