someone who has made this reform with the new chassis or the old beetle? I want to know how they replaced the torsion bars and what they put in. Greetings and thanks

Called a coil over shock. Probably stock torsion bars. It adds a little stiffness and some higher priced ones are adjustable for bound/rebound.
^^^ What Gred said^^^ The chromed shock and coil over spring often is some cheap combination, and when added to stock torsion bars on a street car (as opposed to a baja bug, which is what they're originally intended for) usually makes for a pretty stiff ride. I don't think those springs look heavy enough to support the weight of the back of the car. Al
Back in the day, I bought a set of those for parades. I'd slap them on, so I could carry the homecoming king and queen sitting up on the rim of the "bathtub" behind the seats.
Easy on, easy off, no dragging the muffler.
