[speedy]

anybody know of a table or index for moving the springplates on the torsion bars i need to lift one side of my rear suspension 18-20mm , i know to get this it will be a combination of inner and outer splines , i would rather get it someware near first or second time than spend days taking the spring plates on and off
cheers jon

There is such a table. I searched for it but I could not find it. I think I saw it on shoptalkforums.com somewhere. Hopefully someone else on here has the link bookmarked.

There are 40 splines on the inner each one is "worth" 9°. The outer end has 44 splines so each one makes an 8.182° change.

Here is the link to some threads on ShopTalk about it:

And another from Air Cooled Volkswagen:

Hope this helps!
