This car has covered very little ground since it was built, Chris never really had a chance to get it dialed in. Last weekend I helped rectify that. The suspension needed some fine tuning- it had settled down too low, had no front sway bar and the tires were 15+ years old and hard as rocks.

We installed beam stiffeners, 14mm Thing sway bar, raised the left rear ≈1" and adjusted the front up a scosh. And new tires (185/60's, 215/65's) which saved over 11lbs. It’s far more composed and controllable now. Some adjustments still need to be made on the sway bar (standard sway bar on 2" narrowed beam) but it's getting there and a huge improvement over where it was.

The front end grips very well now but the rear end with its original 21mm torsion bars, Z bar delete with camber compensator feels pretty sloppy to me. Feels like it's ready to lift off oversteer when pushing it. I wonder if earlier 22mm bars would be a decent improvement (math says 20% stiffer) or go with some much larger SAW 24mm bars...

Whose beam stiffeners did you go with? I've been debating getting a pair for my '67, the Empi ones look like crap but the CSP ones might not fit my 2" narrowed beam.

They were original VW. I put CSP on the GTV years ago and from memory they seem to be exactly the same. This ‘67 also has a 2” beam and the stiffeners do just barely fit… however the grease zerks are now inside the clamps (inaccessible) and I did have to trim away the steering stop bracket but it wasn’t being used anyway. 

Good to know about the steering stop bracket interference, that's something I actually like having on my car so I'd be pretty wary of having to cut into it too much. I meant to mention in my earlier response as well, going to 22mm rear torsion bars is a smart idea, I have a newer Empi camber compensator on my car which definitely helps but having a stronger spring rate and maybe stiffer spring plates could really keep the rear planted.

Thanks for the reply Karl

That explains it, a real shame though as your thread especially was really good for information and especially pictures. Hopefully it will be reversed and the pictures restored, I’ve been able to see them up until recently.

I’m going on holiday next month (out of UK) so I should be able to see the pictures again.

Thanks
