Moving the inner pivot bolt for the trailing arm upward raises the roll centre upwards considerably, so the car may handle more like a swing-axle bug if you did that.

I don't know where you heard that from tommi, but it's simply nonsense.
Either setup can be made to behave exactly the same in all respects.

But anyway, it's almost impossible to figure out all...

Question 911 rear trailing arms on a Beetle

Don't suppose there's much point in fitting 911 rear trailing arms, since the 944 parts are almost identical.

But maybe some advantage due to weight or whatever.

So I wondered has anyone tried...

Amount of weight on the front axle makes a big difference to ride height even with stiff gas shocks on (it's because the front torsion bars are actually very soft)

Just a full tank of fuel can...

I don't mean to contradict for the hell of it, but that's not entirely true.

You see on the torsion bar front beam, the top trailing arm is about one centimetre (almost half an inch) shorter than...

Weight of your bug depends on the model. A bottom of the range 1200cc with swing-axles was lightest at under 800kg. But 1303S was the heaviest at around 900Kg. So generally they got heavier every...

A Z-bar (camber compensator as some people call them) on the rear axle is a must on any swingaxle beetle. It improves both cornering ability and highway stability in my experience.
