Wow...what an endeavor.
Sandeep, you said you're using a 3" narrowed beam, and 2 inch fenders...my newbie math equates that to 7 inches of increased space. Max struts with 2.5 fenders should work right? I just don't want to order something, then find out it's too narrow and be broke to buy the other ones, lol. Money is tight...I'm oh so squeezing this by, lol.

Nope .... 3" Dropped beam, not narrowed and 2" wide fenders.
If I drop the beam all the way, the tire presses on the headlight buckets ... looks BAD A$$ but I'd rip out the headlights over the first bump  Raising the beam gives me suspension travel, and the tire is covered by the fender nicely, and nothing rubs when I corner hard. I'm not sure how wide of a fender you are going to need. What I did to choose my setup was to install my wheels/tires and brakes under stock fenders and then measure how wide I needed to go. check the details here ... http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=175 You may try www.glass-action.com for some fender options ... I ordered their 2" fronts and was pleased with the quality. Sandeep

What the differences in clearance between your set-up and a Super with Max struts? Example is our cars. Same wheels and width/offset....what's the difference in clearance bewteen a Super w/Maxx and a STD?
The only problem with measuring once the wheels, and ordering fenders later is it's a daily driver. You can see how this is causing a problem, lol. Double edged sword how I' need to do everything at once = a good before/after comparo. But It makes for one hell of a PITA to source all the parts BEFORE hand.... Thanks for all the help...this is making things a ton easier....only thing I'm looking at now is the 299mm 87 944T brakes looking "lost" under such a big wheel, even worse on the rear....

I'd wait until you get responces from the super guys, the std and super differ in track width, how the suspension moves etc...so the comparision will be difficult.
have you tried the super beetles only forums? theres a big one that most of the guy here with supers visit I'd give them a try, probably help you out beter then trying to figure out how the std and super compare

I've had an account at SBO.com forums for quite some time, but never posted there....tech info didn't seem as replied to as over here. That and the fact that there's like NO TRAFFIC wouldn't really help much. I've just posted a topic there just like 2 seconds ago asking.

So, all I need is just need a 1/4 inch spacer and your billet hub right(brake spaceing will be supplied through you for the billet hub right?)??? Atleast, that's what my retard *** got from it, lol.

 . I just personally HATE the way those plain brembo's look...it's a frickin sticker. That just screams cheap to me...regardless who makes it, it's just something stuck in my head... It's the ONLY thing that bothers me. Hmm...how about a Bracket/billet hub made so I can have the rotor the sized of "Project Pepper"? Cause I dunno, already needing an adaptor bracket, then getting Big Red adaptor brackets would just seem very unsafe to me, lol. Now that...I would definitly love, cause I get to keep my sexy machined calipers, and only have ONE caliper adapter bracket, hahaha....
