Hey guys, I started a thread in the 68 plus section. I am looking for some specifics on setting up the "German look" on my car. Is there a good link where I can find pics with wheel and tire diameter and offsets? Plus suspension setups?

Thanks for that link. That helps me out quite a bit. I am going to look into some Chevy adapters for my 4 lugs and probably a 16" wheel. Right now my car is setting on the bump stops in the back and has 2.5" drop spindles in the front (bought it that way). I absolutely loath the ride, it's terrible. I will more than likely move the rear to almost stock height and stay with just the drop spindles in the front. Thanks again.

Just remove the bump stop rubbers and see if that helps.
I lowered my 65 bug 1 outer spline and it sat on the stops,
removed them and all is well,didnt drop any further. |
