Re: beetle or super beetle

no offence, but supers are the worst for bajas.
limited suspension and front end mods make them a bad choice. if all you want to do is put a body kit on it and drive it around town, then anything will do. the standard beetle is almost always cheaper to work on the front end (body and susp/steering)

Re: beetle or super beetle

I agree. The struts on the front suspension are the Archilles Heel of the superbeetle. They will not survive first contact with offroad.

how do you put coil overs with really long travel on a std. bug. do you have to buy a new front beam or something.
