Hello,
Don't be fouled by all the talk about high speeds! Very, very few people drive in excess of 200 km/h with a bug more than once... Going 180 km/h (real km/h that is, not measured with deviating tacho's) is already pushing it from a stability point without a front spoiler like the old Kamei ones.
Just look at the pictures of the German Käfer Cup races that competed in the W4 class (unrestricted aircooled VW engines => large (2,9ltr) type 4's): all were lowered more than street use would allow and had front air dams/spoilers with which they reached over 200 km/h on the straights easy.
Also, it goes without saying really that all the front suspension bushings, shocks, steering components etc. must be in 'new' and/or upgraded condition.
Drive safe!
Greetings,
Walter
