Perhaps not such a good idea? Bringing the track width out in the front will drastically increase your turning circle. With a disk brake conversion you'll have the wheels stand out slightly more anyway.

Thanks Pine, didn't even think about that! What would the cost of disc conversion be about?

Calooker is your man to speak to, there is currently an active thread on the conversion here as well :arrow: http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewtopi ... =4&t=18081
