Picked up the 90 syncro westy from the shop yesterday, after install of Tiico 2 L I4 engine, OME shocks, and Steve's Syncro springs. WOW. Appreciable (and appreciated) power boost, ;much better ride and handling. Even my wife, who tolerates my vanagon obsession, was impressed w/ the new ride. I've got just over 100 miles on it to date, and am very pleased. If you feel a need to make your ride more pleasant and comfortable (less bottoming out, less lean on turns) go for the springs and shocks!!! Thanks Steve S. for the suspension mods, and Peter B for the power and reliability!!!!! John SLC, 90 syncro westy, Tiico powered |
