coilovers

[juse]

I am currently fabricating my own pair of coil-overs using Golf II strut inserts. I have found out that this is a common modification in rallysprint Beetles here in Finland. They are shorter than the stock ones, so lowering goes fine with them.
You will have to use the bottom part of the original strut welded into a length of tube. The threads can be machined onto the tube or you can buy threaded tubes and weld them on the tube. The springplates can be bought separately or machined for your requirements. You can also use axial nuts for this.
This isnt an everyday conversion if you arent skilled enough, but the more you can do by yourself, the cheaper it will be in the end.
