Subject:      Boge Performance Springs too small in the rear?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Due to sagging stock springs that I got off another Van, I ordered the set of
the Boge springs from Busdepot.


I was surprised to find the rear springs wire diameter is about 20% smaller
than the front which has me asking questions.


Are the rear springs durable and going to last 10+ years/150,000 miles?


How does it ride?


What about when you load it down with people and gear?






A list member posted about a company that retorsions stock suspension
springs.  I do not want to go to taller springs (my wife now complains about
it being too tall to get in...)






I compared a set of Boge springs with H&R springs about two years ago and the
Boge springs wire was the same rebuilds front and rear, why the change?
