Just in case anybody was curious, I got everything back together. Two shocks, a set of poly bushings, one used tire later and a slicker lowered stance on properly adjusted torsion bars, the squareback feels better than it ever has (and looks cooler too.) Thanks everyone for all their help. Kris. P.S. Don't think I ever answered your question Phil, it was raining in Sacramento on Tuesday. Downpouring most of the day. >From: phil <squarepeg67@yahoo.com> >To: Kris Kuckowicz <chached_jag@hotmail.com>, type3list <type3@vwtype3.org> >Subject: Re: [T3] Strange Days >Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 09:01:55 -0700 (PDT) > > >But I don't know > > exactly how to put it all back together.
