Thanks!

IŽve watched that oval-project, VERY nice but itŽs just superbeetle suspension to oval beetle, nothing new if there is not some geometry changes etc...

Our race-splitwindow has McPherson front suspension (made with 914 and Passat parts) and it have 20 degrees of positive caster! Goes straight like a train!! And it also turns very good......

I agree with volkdent to find out what angles Porsche guys use.

I have also another question!

You have steering arms in your front spindle. Those arms are pointing either front or backwards. 'Big guys' say that steering arms pointing back youŽll have oversteer (which is good for light front car like beetle) and if you have steering arms to front youŽll have understeer. (which is good for naturally oversteering car like 944) So how it is possible that steering arm postitions can have effect to under-/oversteer of my car?!??!???? What makes this effect?
