Yeah, those are ok. They include necessary bolt extensions at bottom end. Choose atleast 450lbs springs, or better 500lbs. Ask from subaruengined beetle owners what springs they are using?

thanks ;)

I have one set that its not complete, i can make a complete setup either for 944 aluarm or 944/924/bug steel arm for 650 euros, this offer is valid only up until next month or so ;)

kendy January 16th 2013 06:16

What kind of alu do you use? 7075 or 2017A?

-Alex- January 21st 2013 03:40

I use 7075-T6 only.

Humble February 27th 2013 16:59

Is it too late to snap up that incomplete uniball set? I need it for 944T aluminum arms and correct me if i'm wrong but these will work with the stock porsche swaybay pckups that go through the arm and spring plate? PM with billing details :)

jmd March 5th 2013 11:35

Humble,

I'm running your setup and am curious about what you're getting up to?
I am building my own uni's at the moment and would love to know how you're planning on using these parts?

more info?

-Alex- March 5th 2013 16:46

Who? Me? Humble? :)

What you want to know?

Humble March 6th 2013 00:52

jmd, I'm after few things really.

1. I'm looking for more adjustability out of the back end than I'm getting from the stock porche spring plates. It's also a pain to fine tune with the eccentric adjustment bolts.

2. I want to cut down on the rear end slop now that I'm playing with the much higher cornering loads that slicks produce. These plates and delrin pivot bushings should help with that.

3. I like giving back to the community where I can and getting suspension parts from members puts money into GLer hands.


If you aren't making a time attack car the stock parts are great. Even for intermediate track use on street tires they will hold up just fine. I'm at the stage now where I'm trying to go from the top 8% to the top 5% and I need reliability and repeatability. :)

-Alex- March 9th 2013 09:08

I am now offering bus kits also :)

Thought I'd put an update here and put up Alex's hard work. I finally had a chance to open the box and check out the parts. They are very robust and absolutely beautiful!

Have any pics of where and how these swaybars mount?

Humble June 22nd 2013 18:07

Here's a pic I took earlier, I can try and grab a better one from the backside later.

Cool, thanks

Bug@5speed(US) July 14th 2013 20:58

Humble what size bar u running in the back.

I was going to use some 944 but with the Gwd rear sway bar mounts and our 901 front traverse it is not a good fit. The 944 seem shorter then the beetle ones by an inch or so. If I have to use the 944 I need custom endlinks at about 5 inches or so.

Thinking the beetle may be a better fit but can I trouble u to measure the short length so I can compare.

Rear IRS conversion bits look really nice need to check the price.

CNC made aluminum Uniball rear suspension system
 
Ordered my uniball set up from Alex :D:D:D, slowly getting all the parts together now.

-Alex- August 29th 2013 14:59

These came out nicely, two setups are ready to go, Beetle with 944 aluarms and Bus T2 with steel arms.

-Alex- January 4th 2014 18:10

At the moment, until end of the february, i can sell 1-2 sets for 700€

jmd January 5th 2014 19:05

Alex - is that price for your Beetle to 944 alu arms? With all the hardware? If so, let's talk about me getting one of those sets.
thanks.
jmd

-Alex- January 5th 2014 19:51

Same price applies to aluarms and steel arms.

-Alex- February 24th 2014 18:07

One set being made for JMD :)

jmd February 27th 2014 18:23

I want to tell folks that might be considering this.... Alex has be absolutely fantastic to work with - his communication has been top notch and he has been great to do business with.
if you are nervous at all - don't be, just pull the trigger and get you some of these sexy ass parts!

Thanks Alex!
jmd

-Alex- February 28th 2014 05:59

I can still offer one or two sets less than 800€ before May, but at price 750€, due to a risen cost of aluminum and actual machining time.

As for timetable, usually i'll get the aluminum in 1,5-2 weeks, machining takes time 2-3 weeks. Bolts and uniball joints i'll get at few days.

-Alex- April 2nd 2014 17:11

Here is latest kit for JMD. He will get his parts before easter.

-Alex- April 2nd 2014 17:17

Special offer! I can make TWO or THREE sets at once for the price of 670€. Single kit 740€. Offer is valid at this month :)

jmd April 3rd 2014 16:10

I've said it before and will say it again - Alex has been awesome!
Great communication, good updates - totally worked with me for all of my needs.

DO THIS!!!
jmd

-Alex- April 4th 2014 15:23

I'll say this to all, there is always some little scratches on a hard aluminum like 7075 T6, and i'll usually take all sharp edges (easy to get cuts to your hand) nicely with smooth metal file and small fast spinning dremel carbide sanding band.

Also i add chamfer to pieces at edges where the rod end "comes out", it gives to it more room to move. Machinist is somewhat too busy i guess to make it most of the times.


At my ex work place, they did sometimes a lot of sanding and smoothing to aluminum parts if they were ment to be anodized.

jmd April 14th 2014 12:43

Alex,
Got my parts this weekend.... simply amazing!
Can't wait to get them on the car and see how they fit!
They look just like the images above. Fit and finish is brilliant...

thanks so much,
jmd

-Alex- March 5th 2015 17:41

Again offering one kit at price 690€, this time for 944 aluarms, because i have one leftover pair of 944 aluarm brackets. Delivery time 3-4 weeks.

Exactly like this kit at the picture:

-Alex- April 28th 2015 12:14

Still have them.

-Alex- August 13th 2015 11:26

Yup, still have these for 944 aluarms :) Anyone needs?

-Alex- February 4th 2016 18:29

Still have :)

Tim February 17th 2016 02:49

Hi

Do you ship to Hong Kong? If so, how much is the shipping?

Tim
