Gentlemen and Ladies:
Here is the original post that I made a few years ago:
https://www.speedsterowners.com/forum/readmsg.asp?t=11081
It talks about creating a new and 'better' suspension for our cars. Even though I don't have a 'Speedster' at the moment, I do have an old Ghia vert that I'm workin' hard at making better than new. Here is a thread from over on the Samba from a company in California that has taken the long leap of faith of working out all the kinks when it comes to improving the handling of the current VW/Speedster suspension. You can just jump to page 19 and see the finished product or you can read the whole thread, I promise it is interesting. Not only is it well thought out, but it seems to be tested and proven. I'm still waiting on the persons own views of how this works for street use, but, at least it should be a major start in making our cars ride and handle better.

Like I said, you can just jump to page 19 and see the finished product or you can read the progress and testing of the suspension. Here is another link to their website:
