I saw a trike at my buddies vw shop that was running a set of shockwaves, you mave more room to play with on a trike versus a bug since the body is the way, hell you could prolly run just airshocks

you can run just air shocks in the front, but its stupid. Thats why I put upper and lower control arms on the ghia suspension I built. There really is no easy way to bag it gracefully with the stock link pin shit. the newer ones have MacPherson struts. If you have any more questions about VW suspensions send me an IM. I should be able to answer any questions you may have.

but were talking about the REAR OF A TRIKE, not the front of a type 1

The rear can be bagged with a cantilever attachment. (bagged on the bar) with a small dogbone link connected to the stock shockmount. If you check out the pics on Airkewld.com it will be simple for you.

air kewld stuff is sweet but seriously expensive.
