Which trailing arm?

[Jason Renville <Jason_Renville@ccm.al.intel.com>]

Not dumb at All.  When I was in high school I tried to lower my car.  I 
had almost removed the top trailing arm when I figured out It was the
Bottom one that I should be messing with..  No you don't HAVE to do 
anything to the uppers.  You might find that cutting the trailing arm 
snubbers in half is a good idea.  I totally removed them for two 
notches.

Anyone have the write-up I did on lowering the front end archived?  
Maybe you could pass it on to Cayson and me for that matter.

OK, now this might seem as a really dumb question to all you vets out
there, but I just want to make sure before I really screw things up.  I'm
getting ready to lower the front of the Fastback to even the car out.
The rear is sagging a bit.  I read through the article in VW Trends on
lowering the T3 front end.  It talks all about using the lower trailing
arm to lower the car.  What about the upper trailing arm?  Do you need to
move that one too?  If not, do you have to modify anything so it all fits
again?  I only want to go one notch, so its nothing extreme.  Any help
will be much appreciated.  One final thing: Greg, can I have your snail
mail address?  My uncle wants to send you a pic of his T34 Ghia and a
writeup on it.  We aren't technically advanced enuf for a scanner.
Thanks again!
