Air ride systems

Post by smp01 » 27th August 2013 - 12:01pm

Hey guys, I'm thinking of maybe trying to get my late squareback on an air ride system but wanna know the possiblites and options.
I wanna narrow the front beam but am considering putting a narrowed beetle beam on the front, how easy would that be or can you get narrowed type 3 beams?
I got it lowered enough now just enough to drive it but it still scrapes on the ground so would like to be able to adjust that's why i'm thinking air ride. I've had a look around but would like to know if any one has done it on hear and how much work would be involved.

thanks. J

I have just used a set of front porsche boxster wheels. And the car has brakes that are 5x130 do there is no adapters.
I have picked up some monroe air shocks so going to have a play with those over the next week or 2.
