Chime in if you have any thoughts.
> This would allow us NB owners to retain the ability to keep prying eyes away from what is in our hatch. If this doesn't drastically affect the performance of the UNIbrace it would be a good balance. My Bug is my daily, but I DO use the hatch every day and don't have the option to store the contents elsewhere in the car. Also if we had the ability to retain rear seats that would rock: 95% of the time I am the only occupant but I do occasionally haul a couple of extra bodies around

My suspension setup is as stiff as I would want to go for street/occasional track, but I've always felt that there is something that needs doing with the rear, other than shock adjustment.
