Thanks for you pithy comments, Alan. But All I can say is you can get bent.
My advice about camber compensators comes form experience not profit
incentive. I have seen the effects of driving an early spit without one and
it ain't pretty. Because nobody was making them at the time I discovered
the dreaded wheel tuck, I was forced to go to the next best thing, the swing
spring. While it cured the wheel tuck situation to a degree, it was
woefully inadequate. So I took the time and went to the expense of
engineering a modern replica of Kas Kastner's original unit that was offered
back in the 60's.
I installed one of them on my Mk 1 and can speak from experience how well
they work. Also of the over 200 users of my units (a few of them on long
axle Spits), I have never had any complaints.
I offer my comments without expectations of selling anything and certainly
don't need people like you discouraging discourse on this or any other
forum. If you don't like reading any of my posts, you can use the delete
button. It is certainly easier than typing a couple hundred words
disparaging me.

Subject: Re: sagging rear/advice
As Joe sells camber compensators and tends to only comment on rear
suspension issues I would ignore joe's advice.
I would tend to think of his use of the group as a form of advertising.
Spring sag can be a problem, personally in a very intested way I found that
the best result on my mk III was probably with fixed spring and big front
anti roll bar.
If joe ever commented on anything that wasn't cured by a camber compensator
I would feel happier with his advice.
