would like to see some slammed aircooleds

[AllThingsGhetto]

Here's a shot my buddy took. I promise it'll be lower in the front. (the lowering shocks came in )

[LooseNuts]

Beautiful ride mang. Id leave it IMO.

[EK20]

Beautiful!

Thanks man. I just want the front to be a "little" bit more tucked like the rear to have it appear even with the back tire tuck.

I looked on the samba and couldn't find any people selling any. I'm probably missing it

how narrow is the beam

[LooseNuts]

Guessing 2" CB beam




maybe 3"

[A1steaksauce]

not narrow enough to go much lower with

WERD!!!!

[AllThingsGhetto]

It's a 2" and I will go lower now that the shortened shocks are in. *evil grin* Where's my bat?

Called it.

Are comment was due to the 2" narrow and not having enough tuck on the tires to clear the fenders when you lower it.

[AllThingsGhetto]

LOL!

I need to roll the fenders and possibly camber the fronts if that's even possible. This aircooled stuff is "still" new to me.

A 4-5" narrowed beam would solve all of your problems

[AllThingsGhetto]

I was toying around with this idea, but the car already doesn't handle too well off the bat. I wanted to salvage some of the handling the best I could and I prefer the wheels closer to the fenders. I'll make it work. I've been known to do some crazy crap.

[BEANS]

You'd be suprised how well it can handle with the right setup. You'd probably see an increase in handling characteristics by having a minor narrow, and still running shocks. We're just trying to give you some pointers, is all. Its your car so build to your liking.

Leave that to the water-cooled stuff

[RafCarre12]

I like bringing in some of the watercooled influence in my aircooled cars but yeah, I have to agree with the group (for the most part) on this one. I tend to run 7" wides in front but they're always tucked in as far as I can without rubbing from lock to lock.

[AllThingsGhetto]

Don't get me wrong. I love the look of a more narrowed beam, but I like the look of a less narrowed too. HAHA! I do appreciate the feedback. I guess I just don't want to spend more money and redo it.

Let's keep the pics coming! I don't have any right now. (at work...shhh!)

[Pineapplegti !]

Don't be scared of a narrowed beam lol

Who me? Scared? Nah...just broke.

[AllThingsGhetto]
