It looks great Chip! I too would like to know what brand/model you used and your impression of the impact on the ride and handling etc.

Thanks!

They are V-maxx(not everyone's favorite, I know), but the price was more than right. The ride is stiff, but Like a Cadillac compared to my lowered VW's so I'm easy to please. Ask me again in a couple of months and I let you know how they hold up.

Very nice! I want to see more of the beetle though. My previous girlfriend had a sweet '67. I sure do miss that car
