Subject:      Rear Carat or Wolfsburg Springs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


                        I am replacing the set springs purchased from Bus Depot, before they bounce me and my van to death.  I was successful in locating a new set of Carat / Wolfsburg from the dealer located in Texas, but the rear springs were sold before I confirmed the purchase.  I was able to acquire a front set, but learned that they were the last set available in the US and Canada and are now marked as obsolete by the dealer.  I am told no more will be manufactured. :(


                        For the short term, I will have to leave the BD ass pounders in the rear, but would be very grateful for any information or suggestions on alternative rear springs that will lower the back of van about one inch to help with the stability of the ride and match the 1" lowering effect of the Carat / Wolfsburg springs.


                        Take Care
