have you driven it like that? that low? The last bug I had was that low when I picked it up. Its not a pleasant expeieriance, And ive lowered pretty much all my cars. First thing I did when I got it home was adjust it up to a useable hight. Still low but not scary to drive.. They wallow all over the place like that . Sorta feels like a reliant robin but the wrong way round... Ive driven it a little, feels like any other mega slammed car with loads of camber to be honest! I take it yours didnt have extended spring plates? Meaning the rear wheels would have had loads of tow in! Being the drive wheels I'm sure that would make a car feel terrible! Yeah it did... Some custom made with adjusters from standard empi ones on the end. Sold em on ebay a month or so ago.. At low speeds mate itll be fine. Try driving it over anything like 50.. I'm not making a dig as it looks epic slammed. I do love a slammed bug. But ive had quite a few that low and its not a fun thing. Tbh only a little lift on the back end makes a huge difference. Guess you had to get rid of the Z bar and the front stab bar to get it that low yeah? that makes the back end rock around all over the place... As i said , Epic car.. And soooo glad you kept the marathon wheels. They are realy under rated wheels. |

My last car was abit of a handful to drive, like to the point where i couldnt change lanes on the m5 because the cats eyes were to big! so I'm sure ill be able to deal with what ever this throws at me! haha, but i do appreciate your concern  and yeah both arb's have been taken off! |
