Saw a similar thread on another forum, might be an idea to see what we brew up locally?
So post up a photo of your ride with details of the following:
1. Front suspension height and how its lowered which shock absorbers you've used etc.
2. Front tyre size.
3. Rear suspension height / any modifications.
4. Rear tyre size.

Re: Stance Thread
Ok Well here are some Pics of The Fly
One usually build a car then fit the wheels
What I did with The Fly was Cut the body and everything and fitted the motor then fitted the wheels with out fenders
Decided the with of the Spacers I wanted and fitted them
Then loaded 4 bags of cement in The Fly 2 for my weight and 2 extra for interrior and water sound etc to get the desired weight there
Then I lowerd the front and back acording to how high I wanted the bug the front rubber scoop is lower than a Coke tin laying on its side
After all this then only I I built the fenders over the wheels
Lowerd front about 100mm and the back 2 out side splines
FRont std anti roll bar
Back my own design Squat bar
Front discs with BMW Bearing hubs and 25mm wheel spacers to bring the wheels more out
Back gold disc brakes and 55mm wheel spacers to bring out the wheels
I wanted to have the type of stance a Porsche have low wnd the back wheel track wider than the front
Front Tyre size 235/45/18"
Back Tyre size 265/35/18" these tyres actually came from a Porsche when I bought them in early 2000 and 18" rims were very Expensive and tyres even worse
I have taken on a R8 On the highway with a Forum member with me and we did not lose
Hope this is what you were looking for on this thread
Hope this is not to much info

I also love stock bugs just as much as I like my Modified ones
