The 944 suspension is a direct copy of the superbeetle suspension geometry, so much of a copy that the rear trailing arms from a 944 bolt right into a super beetle.

The super beetle suspension geometry was designed before the 944 suspension.

The 944 used better parts to accomplish the same thing..

So, you swap a 944 suspension into a beetle and the world of high performance suspension and brakes opens up in front of you...

Toast, VW is like any other car company, they are big and only out to make a buck....

Personally I will never stop being a fan if vw,s

I have 7 right now including my three 914's

That is why I like the 914, cause its a low fast vw....
I love beating 911's with basically a bus engine....makes me smile...
