The po of my vert had "adjusted" the spring plates by taking the spring
plates off and moving them down one spline and putting them back. The result
was, when I put the engine in, it still sat at the top of the suspension.
I'm not sure if someone on the list gave me these web sites, but I saved
them for future reference. They pertain to a bay, but will give you a real
good idea on how to adjust the rear torsion bars on any air cooled VW.

I think the engine will drop it a bunch.
Are they hard to adjust with the engine in?
You can readjust when you install the brake cables.

Murray is sitting on his own tires now. I will have to re-adjust his
re-adjusted springplates, he is sitting pretty high in the rear now, like in
the old hot rod days. I may wait until after I put the engine back to see if
it will settle it more.
I have attached the bench yoke style engine stand to the lift and I can work
on the engine at any height I want. If I die wealthy I will make sure that
my estate leaves all of my friends a lift each. It makes car work sooooo
easy.
