Suspension problem
1973 Volkswagen Beetle Two Wheel Drive Manual 30,000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I own a "73 Beetle VW chassis with a Porsche 356 on it. I want to raise the rear 2" to 3" higher. Will adjustable gas rear shocks do the job or is there something else that you would suggest?
