If you put coilovers on the front struts of a 911, it would be very similar to a 74 super beetle suspension.


Cheers,

Joe

The 924 WAS a Superbeetle suspension. Front and Rear.

They just reversed the transmission and moved the engine to the front w/ a driveshaft.

Francesco,

No, the Beetle and Superbeetle suspensions are not the same as a 911. Yes it's true the 924 had SB suspension parts.

If you have a Superbeetle look at Topline

http://www.toplineparts.com/frameset.html

My son and I had the first Max Struts released for production. These are coilovers and were adjustable and were very cool.




If you have a Beetle then look at the VW specialty sites such as CB Performance.

Ciao e Buona Fortuna
