Re: [T3] Saggy Rear End (was Re: Bella!)

<x-flowed>Not a bad idea- I'm sure I could find one over here if I look- I think 
shipping might be a lot ;-). But are you saying that the diagonal arms 
would be stronger on the square? I know the torsion bars are but I don't 
think that is the problem. Shad talked about fitting Porsche 924 or 944 
arms because they are reinforced but they might take some tracking down 
and I think I'd still have damper/bump stop issues. And I think the rear 
is stiff enough over bumps- its just that the wheels have taken to 
cambering in too much- more on the left which looks bad and the tyres 
wear unevenly.
