[T3] lowed spindles... now caster debate

[Brian <vwfye@frontiernet.net>]

<x-flowed>in the case of our cars, i am starting to feel like this is the b-52 all 
over again... it ain't suppose to work, but does.   my car is lowered, 
(look at the invasion pic in nyssa and you can compare a lot of front 
end heights) according to everything i keep reading about caster it 
should wander, handle like crap, ride even worse and require new tires 
every 1k miles or less.  yet, my car/s drives in a straight line, brakes 
in a straight line, handles very well, rides as well as my stocker notch 
did, and has perfectly acceptable tire life/wear.  so,  where did i go 
wrong to get it right?  i don't think i did.  every front lowered type 3 
i have had has done this well; as well as my stockers in situations. 
that can't be luck.    i know that my ghia and my bug did not like 
lowering without adding caster, but the type 3s just haven't had the 
negative effect... no pun intended!
