Subject:      My butt is sagging
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

When my 85 Wolfsburg Edition Westy (non full camper, but pop top) is sitting on a level surface, its butt is sagging. I replaced all four corners with KYB shocks, which are fine. But I'm guessing I need to replace the rear springs. I remember that there was some debate on what springs to use, when I was on the list a year or so ago. They apparently used different color dots on the springs, depending on floor plan of your bus. So my question, is which springs do I need to order? I'm not looking for excellent handling, firmer ride, lowered ride or anything like that. Just OEM quality is fine. I just want to improve the self esteem of my Westy. Next question, where is the best place to order these from? Ken, do you carry them?

Thanks, Ryan 01 GTI 1.8T 85 Westy "Tardis" 74 Super Beetle
