I just took delivery two weeks ago,happy so far aside from the non tdi mpg. I bought some audi titan replicas for it,tested one on just have to lower it first, really surprised at the wheel quality for a rep,thanks to discount tire for the clean mount/balance

Finally thanks to pg performance i got her lowered today, had a nightmare with kw, they advertised 2012 kw coilovers for the beetle, bought them got them ,went to install,didnt fit. Called them, they said to ship them back, took weeks of bugging them finally they refunded the price but they kept 40 bucks i guess because i guess them waisting my time was worthy of a restocking fee? . Called pg performance they had the h and r coilovers drop shipped to me, had them within 2 days. The kicker is kw still has the coilovers advertised on ebay as fitting 2012 beetles.
im still playing with the ride height,25.5 at the front 26 at the back. Might raise it up a 1/2 more.

These are what i have at the moment i can take ones from straight behind later. I was lookimg for this offset because the 20x9 +35 popular sizing for these cars would poke out according to my measurements.

It looks sweet, but I am afraid of steep driveways and curbs, My brother got his underside ripped off on his Mustang after lowering and a driveway. He raised it back and said not worth it. Originally Posted by Surreyboy

That is the nicest looking beetle I've seen thus far.
It's ok if you disagree with me, I can't force you to be right.

Hey man nice ride! I'm planning on doing that same kicker amp in my Beetle...how do the QS components sounds? Do you adjust the db jumper to make them not so harsh? Where did you mount the big ass crossovers?? Originally Posted by DTM8p
