I'm not a technical guy, just a Vanagon owner who also sells parts. My description was intended to allow people to visualize how their van would look with these springs. The measurement I mentioned (actually an approximation, not a precise measurement) is meaningful if your tires have the same sidewall height as mine do. (Like most Vanagon owners, I have stock size Vanagon tires, 185R14 or 205/70R/14, both of which have basically the same sidewall height.) Of course if you have taller or shorter tires than stock, your ride height will differ. Incidentally, I should also clarify that the total price, excluding shipping, is $360.95 with listmember discount figured in. - Ron Salmon The Bus DepotŪ, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _______________________________________________ ORDER BY PART # TOLL FREE: 1-888-819-DEPOT |
