That's one of those Mendeola rear suspensions, isn't it?  I hear the front and rear costs around 7500 clams, and turns your beetle into a sports car.

mad dad is right, I'd like to see a new style torsion sway bar used on that kit. Were using them on my brothers Avanti.... Very high tech and cool!

I imagine they keep the track stock width for optimum handling but a narrowed option (front and rear) would be pretty cool. Not that I have 7300 bones of disposal income right now. Slick set up though.
