i have been driving the fastback for a few weeks on end now and i have noticed something that worries me.
i have been overtaken by stock beetles that drive faster then me on the freeway

yes i know it is shocking.
so why do they drive faster or better question, why do i not get over a 100km/h?
well the car has the tendency to become unstable at those speeds. at first i thought it was due to the tracks on the highway were the car zigzags from left to right, but it is more then that.
it has gotten worse since i have the 185/70/15 tires at the back. the car is stable when accellerated and put under load. but as soon as you get off the trotlle or you want to corner it wants to break out or starts to 'dance' at the back.
my theory is that the car has too much rake now. the car has no camber chims at the front like a beetle would have, and not enough weight at the back. allthough the type3 is a heavy car. so what to do. i can lower the back a little, but if it doesn't change anything that will be a lot off work for nothing. it felt a lot more stable when i had the ride last year at bitburg, but it sat all too low. it was like a cart, but it couldn't clear a postcard that was on the ground. so that was all wrong, but now with getting the front up one spline and fitting the new torsion bars i have cured one thing and created another problem. or is it all in my head and is there nothing wrong with this setup.
so this is my setup as it is now.
rear: stock hight, 185/70/15 tires, long axles, white KYB shocks (bus type), 28 torsion bars, bus snubbers.
front: lowered 2 splines, 165/65/15 tires, grey KYB shocks
