daily driver suspension setup. 70 vert bug

[helowrench]

Alrighty then.
1970 bug with stock sp 1600 for now.
wife will take over the car in a year or so, so oversteering pig would likely render this a pile of scrap shortly thereafter.

Current plan is
19mm front swaybar,
14mm rear swaybar
ghia disc front brakes
5.5 rims with 205 tires.

Does anyone see any problems with this?

All of that seems pretty good, don't forget a good alignment. The biggest things is you want to make sure she understands that a 40 year old bug may drive a lot different than a modern car so when the quirks come about she's not surprised.

If your wife is driving it I would run 195 tires. She may hate you driving a car without power steering and wide tires.

Forgot to mention. The front wheel cyl will end up on the rear for better balanced braking with the discs.

She loves the bug, just does not want it wallowing so badly. She has no problem muscleing it, so the caster shims will be added. She loves the looks and the lines, and puts up with a lot for it. If she really does not like the wide tires, then those tires can go elsewhere in the driveway.
i am going to have it as a dd.while my ghia goes away and other.porjecs get further along so i need some fun times, and want some good braking and turning capabilities.

Probably not needed. Those calipers are so small it isn't much difference (as far as volume) vs. the wheel cylinders. We converted the rear of my friend's ghia to 914 disk brakes and didn't add a biasing cylinder, this was the rear but it's the same principal. We took the ghia out and did some very hard stops on an empty road and nothing locked up. That is just me talking though.
