yea, the narrowed front beam may be difficult to locate a "high" performance sway bar but I beleive there was an article in a vw mag about a narrow sway bar, i'll see if I can find it.

I think it was a 3/4 which should be good enough.

But there is one important thing about that article the author welded all the seams on his bug so this made the chassis and the car a lot stiffer. this is why he had understeer. You and me and most others havn't or can't do this, unless your willing to pull the body and do the time.

So becarefully of what you do based off that article. I wouldn't go that large in the rear, as far as sways bars goes.

There is a tech article on the home page. It trys to use measurement similar to a porsche with similar wieghts, i'd model after that more than the aircooled.net, but the aircooled.net thing does illustrate that you need to tune, not a one size fits all.
