Check out this cool article by Philip Van der Vossen of Gunaxin Magazine featuring VW High Life Stage 3 kit designed by the Minority Indie Racer and tested in the WRC stages in Guanajauto Mexico in 2015. The story goes that Hotrod Ponce noticed that the MK4 VW Beetle suspension needed some Bongo Magic adjustments while touring some events in Norway and Germany. So he purchased a $1000 USD MK4 VW Beetle and drove down from Texas to Central Mexico and began the R&D (Research and Development). Using his multi motor-sports experience helped him design a functional solid lift kit that would not affect the camber of the ride. The results were astounding and the kits now sell all over the world. Here is an article featuring the VW High Life Stage 3 kit.
