Someone mentioned that you can fit Kombi torsion bars into a beetle (rear). Is this the case? Be great if it is, as there is a lot more Kombis around than Type 3 wagons!

No sorry there the wrong size

While the topic is up, how much are squareback torsion bars worth?

They are not all the same, the wagons had thicker ones, I think 23.5 but would have to check. They went as low a 21.5 I think.

Anyway they are differentm measure them to find out for sure.

Hi Secoh

You can get thicker aftermarket bars for 944s but they might be expensive. You might be better off going coil overs on the rear.

Below is all the Type 3 torsion bar versions. Fastbacks & notches use Beetle size bars.
