Rear trailing arm conversion

[effvee]

Hi everyone, question was there a Mendeola type of suspension conversion bein offered for the rear to replace all of the IRS currently bein used. It was clearly for the rear(not sure where I saw it:o)

Yes, they offer suspension kits for front and rear. Real nice kits by the way!

These arms are 2 inches longer to bring some weight forward and 2 inches wider to take the large wheels that take the higher horsepower...

Hi, sorry but not these, they were almost upper and lower control arms. They replaced the complete back end, served me right for not bookmarking it:angry:

The only other ones I know of are for off road use. Mendeola is the only rear trailing arm kit I know if. Red 9 has a front double wish bone set up also, however I like the Mendeola much better.

Thanks, I guess it was not on the G.L.site. This setup was a complete assembly, that is bolted and welded on, I believe the torsion tube would need removing, or the set-up would weld to it; it was not just the trailing arms.
Thanks

red 9 have a rear double wishbone set up for buses, not sure about beetles...
