Question Raising me axle?

I have an EVO 5 kit on my beetle

You might consider hitting up the user 'metalnerd' over at www.tdiclub.com. They were making 1", 1.5" and 2" lift kits for the A4 cars. I have a 2" lift on my NB.

That or you just take curbs and bumps at an angle. That's what I have to do with my '73.

Just like to say that the car looks amazing! That paint job, and I mean I am not a fan of flames, but that car looks phenomenal!

I'm shocked to see so much bodywork with stock wheels.
