Don't know if you guys are talking front or rear, but just be prepared to hack off the frame horn up front if you use 928, the tie rods mount low, as well it is way overbuilt for bug applications, it was designed for a car with a V8 sitting up front, and, you'll have to cut quite abit out of the bulkhead to get the angles you'll need to get to the rack. If you are doing a tube chassis, go for it, it should work out well. The brake rotors for it are insanely heavy and large, ask ME how I know...
