Coil over shocks on VW trikes

Most trike applications I've had experience with run down the road good, and handle okay with "plain/OEM stock" type shocks.

Unless you tow a trailer or carry excessive loads, coil over type shocks are generally not needed.

But coil overs look so much better than the bland stock types in many folks opinion, myself included...:Shrug:

My plain shocks are chrome and look great:D
 
I backed off the torsion bars a couple notches. Then put on air shocks with one of those little compressors with the air gauge. Push button to add or remove air. Works great rides great. Adjust on the fly.
 
I use coilovers with no torsion bars. 7-step adjustable spring rate provides good ride under any conditions. With early trikes I built that incorporated VW torsion bars I found that properly adjusted spring plates and good condition stock shocks provided excellent ride.
