"my setup is torsion and air.  torsion is set at the lowest.  lock pins on front and rear removed, so if air pops, it just goes to lowest (drivable) setting.  much safer than those that lay frame."

Could you please explain the above to me?  By 'torsion' is set at the lowest, are you saying that you have an adjustable torsion beam VW suspension and it is adjusted to it's lowest setting?  And I am clueless on the lock pins removed.  Is 'lay frame' when the frame of a bagged car is in contact with the ground?  And why did you narrow the beam?  I see narrowed torsion beams for sale, but I don't know why they are narrowed.  Is a side effect of a narrowed beam the ability to install wider tires?  Are 'Avis adjusters' the adjustment mechanisms on the beams?

Thanks in advance.

i have an adjustable from beam with the centre pins still in place, but the lock nuts removed.  it's 3.5" narrowed - to allow larger tires/rims to tuck, plus i like that look. my beam had avis style.  there are other styles, but functionally all do the same thing.

lay frame: yes.  metal on the ground.  quite dangerous to have this IMO.,
