Javier,

It seems that you can either top off the low brake fluid or make some spacers for the rear springs -- I'll let you pick. You did not mention the year of your Vanagon but it sounds like it's not an '85, which seem to sit higher than any other model I've seen besides a Syncro, and you must have gotten some front springs from an '85. I've recently made some rear spacers from polyethylene to boost my saggy rear by a bit over 1.5 inches. My '85 is sitting pretty now. I've seen people get down on their knees and look under my Westy just to see if it's a Syncro!

Chris. '85 Westy.
