I had planned to have the rear torsion bars adjusted to remove the slight sag. However, this weekend I replaced the shocks (front/back) with new heavy-duty KYB's, and now the sag is mostly gone. Rides a lot better and I can see a good distance behind me. However, the question of needing to have the rear torsions adjusted, say when the shocks settle in, still nags me. Any input from VW-land on this most vexing issue? JKH--Alburquerque, New Mexico '70 Kombi
