I think Ive finally managed to get my stance right after a day of inner and outer splines   this should keep Fab's off my back  If you ask me it still looks a bit gay.  |

Tom, I'm diggin' on your '66... but also for another reason; the car looks like it could be from any era. Timeless, classic, and tastefully done. Great tire combo, too. Eventually, I'll end up with 145s. Had those on my '66 and loved 'em. WAY safer and better looking.
Thanks Bro! I've still got some sorting to do, but Its gettting there  |

I'm pretty pleased with the way the stance came out on my 67'  . CB 2" narrowed beam CB wide 5 discs on dropped spindles Front Monroe oil shocks (Std lenght) Rear KYB Gas-a-just shocks Stock height rear Flat-4 Enkei five spokes 155R15 Vredestein Sprint Classic front 205/70-15 Vredestein Sprint Classic Rear.   this is one cool car, just love the stance, with the big tyres in the front, do you have some pictures? |

The blue '61 and white '67 have great stance. Endre, you're running 155 SR15 tires up front? That's pretty cool... I always assumed that the standard 155 profile wouldn't be low enough to allow the front end of a car to be brought down to a desirable height. If those are 155 SR15 tires in the pics, it looks rather nice. Good job.

Those are the same I have, Vredesteins in standard 155R15 profile. They look good. |

-CB Performance 2.5" drop spindles

Rear:

My 1968 Beetle with stock front beam/shocks/drums, etc, with CB dropped spindles, 145R15, 4.5" '68 EMPI Sprintstars. Stock rear suspension/shocks/drums/Z-bar, etc, with 5.5" '69 EMPI's and either 195/65's (first photo) or M&H 215/65's (second photo). After over 200 launches at the track, the front sits a bit higher than it used to...or perhaps the rear sits lower   |
