I second that, my daily driver for four year was a type 1 with a fibreglass flip front, only enough metal left to support tank and front axle (and with a rear swingaxle to make matters worse). Not wanting to add the weight I had just shaved off, I put one 195/50/15s on the front and lowered the adjustable Puma all the way but still had to raise the rear end torsion bars by two notches and throw relatively tall 275/65/15 tires on the rear to bog it down enough to make it street legal (wheelie bars are not so under any circumstances over here). Downsides were tall tires like that tend to be wobbly and if the rear end came loose it would come around, no matter what. But I never had that much fun with a car again afterwards, ever. I never got that 1835cc though that I wanted so bad. Cheers Ecke
