attilauk Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I got my Koni Adjustables and Eibach Springs fitted today, wow what a difference:). the car feels more nimble and responsive and it sticks to the road like poo to a blanket:thumbs: i've spent most of the afternoon hooning on my favourite roads Big thanks to Paul E for getting me them:cool: on a sadder note i have come to the conclusion that my project beetle is going to cost me to much in time and money so it is being stripped of anything i can sell and sent to the great scrap heap in the sky (well down the road anyway) Rust in Peace little buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Nice. I'm doing something similar with KYB AGX's and Espelir springs. Did you fit a strut brace(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 not yet, i think you need to "modify" the underside of the bonnet scoop to fit a strut brace to a UK car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got past all that now, he's started getting into yank tanks, and I'm into Supes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
