Building a Low-Cost Race Rabbit.... looking for opinions on suspension!!

Heh. I'm not married.

Welcome to the forum! I had a GTi back in da day but didn't get real deep into racing it, so I don't know how much help I will be. Keep posting your progress, makes for good reading!

Based on your article, Anja, you're gonna love this...

I lived in a '66 VW MicroBus for 6 months when I was younger!

Blew the clutch, and had no money to fix it, so I parked it in the parking lot of the NJ Shakespeare Festival and lived out of it for 6 months!

Whenever I see a split window, I get misty eyed reminiscing about the good old days, while simultaneously loading my shotgun to protect my daughters against the influences of whoever the freak is behind the wheel!

What exactly makes the Eurosport or Autotech superior to the BFI crossbrace?

Thank you!

Is there a special spot somewhere in these forums for build threads? I haven't quite found my way around just yet.... I would continue on here in this thread, but with my suspension question as the title, I am afraid that posts of my progress may go unnoticed...

No the build threads pretty much go in this section.

It may take more than a shotgun to protect your daughters from the Obsession.... and while adding a cute boy to the situation never hurts, you may find that if a girl is meant to live in a bus, she will already know it somewhere deep in her soul. I will live in a bus again someday. Perhaps in another field, or perhaps it will actually drive.... :)

I have no problem with my daughters choosing to live in a bus.

I just don't want guys like me hanging around my daughters!
