| I think I have the front end dialed in to where I want it. I need a few more road tests to be sure.  I may want to lower the back a little more  what do you think? | |

| It looks good to me. Mine's going to sit just about like that, maybe up just a hair in the front. I'd like it to have a little bit of a rake. On the samba they have a thread that shows lowered bugs and everyone states what they did to lower their cars, what wheels/tires they're running, etc. So what are all of your specs?
If you decide to go lower in the rear, let me know how much lower. I have a cheat sheet that tells you how to get to that desired height through a combination of how many inner and outer splines to turn and which ones go up and which ones go down. If you're doing it the ol' school way. | |

| I like it as-is. The slight rake makes it look bad-ass. The right amount of rubber hidden by the wheel wells..
Looks good!
I am jones'n for another.. damn it! | |

| The strut front end is what MAKES it a Super versus a Standard. | |
