How's it going. I'm Nate. I recently purchased a 71 Super. Currently, it's not being driven as I'm replacing the blown 1600 with a fresh one, BUT, I'm currently buying parts to build towards a 2332 daily driver. I WAS going to do motor first, suspension next, until I really sat down and thought about my past experiances. If I build the suspension 1st, end result is a 100% funner car, which 9/10 ends up being better than planned. And I'll have more fun until my motor build is complete
I came from the rice scene:

That site is about 3 years old, I've grown A TON since that, and was an ignorant douche then (fresh out of high school). Car was basically a rolling billboard. That was my 1st car. After getting some help from companies, I built up a Turbo Civic for autoX and to be my daily driver. 89 Hatchback, swapped a ZC motor (Basically an 89 integra motor with better internals), a Greddy SOHC turbo kit, and a 65 shot of juice. Motor was built. Put me into the high-mid 12's.
It was a great car with a completely new suspension with 26mm swaybars front and rear, upper and lower subframe braces, front and rear strut bars high and low. And FULL Tien coilover suspension with camber plates. It handled great...was a great car, but it's still just a Civic.
Sold both of those and got into Motorcycle racing. Bought an R6 and starting modding that and doing some trackdays....until an incident (not accident :-D) came up and forced me to sell it.
So I bought the beetle because I read everywhere it had better handling characteristics. I LOVE twisties. And besides, anybody can push a gas pedal in a fast car...
So basically, I'm not a noob when it comes to the parts, physics and mechanics aspect, but a TOTAL NOOB when it comes to the beetle. Which brings me to my questions
Converting my brakes over, are the 944NA hubs the same as 944T hubs? I'm getting the kit from vdubcustoms and was concerned whether or not they're different. Thinking if they're not, just alleviate everything and MAYBE get thier billet hub.
I noticed that they have a dropped spindle kit for the CB spindles. Do you know if it HAS TO BE A
CB dropped disc spindle or can it be ANY dropped disc spindle? Would it really matter considering the mounting points are the same? Or is it that thier CNC machine already has a template for the CB spindle?
Thanks for your guys' time!
