Subject:      Spring Break Again
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

A couple of days ago posted a request looking for information on rear coil
springs.  Current response indicates.

1. Check your clearance so you can get it out of the garage.  (sounds like
someone talking from experience:-)

2. Boge springs will lower about 30 mm.

3. Boge springs ride great, bases on 100 miles of driving & they are not
the best if you have 15" wheels

Based on this limited response I "must" make the assumption that:

1.  Very few vanagon springs have ever been replaced because they never
wear out.

2.  If they ever need replacing, list members use only VW OEM.

3  Or most list members have synchros, thus the springs are different and
they cannot comment on lowly 2wds.

All kidding aside, I would appreciate your experiences and advice both good
and bad on not only these options but any others you might have.  There was
some mention in the archives about a group purchase.  Were these "normal"
height?  What has been the experience, to soft, to hard or justtttt right?

Sorry about the fanaticism but springs are such a Major commitment, don't
want to goof up and be stuck with a poor decision.
