How is the rear spoiler effect at high speed? Does it help the car to be more stable at speeds? Thanks as I'm thinking of getting it or the J-sports spoiler. Still deciding. Thanks.Vdubbeetle1972 wrote:Aircooled.net.. street spoiler i believe

I plan on circuit racing my beetle in the near future and I want brakes that will NOT fade ... this conversion is WAY OVERKILL for the street. When I do 5 consecutive stops from 70 mph to 0, the brakes get warm.

Marco, I STILL think you have one of the best GLs around. Very subtle, very vicious.

BTW, Marco, what are your numbers on the track? And what are you running in there again? Was it a waterboxer? You really should throw yourself together a little website so others can drool regularily.
