The H&R springs are lower and much much stiffer from
what I hear.  Todd Last has a set on i think.  At least
he did.  I sent him his set of the prototype 2wd
springs i am having made (he did not like the H&R),
along with 4 other people.  We should be hearing
reports soon on how they turned out, and whether I need
to make any changes to the specs before we do the
production run.  The production run will take 6 weeks,
so they will be available soon.

The springs are based on the talles spring VW made fopr
the Westy and are slightly stiffer, and maybe 1/4"
taller on an empty van.  They should allow a loaded
westy to ride at about the height an empty one does now
with the tall stock springs.

More info to follow soon.  If you are interested in a
set, p-mail me.
