I looked through the archives, OK? My question is this: Why do most of the campers I've seen (and especially the syncros) seem to sit lower in the front? ETKA doesn't show any difference in part # between camper and passenger vans (at least not for syncros). It doesn't seem like the weight distribution would explain much- the bulk of the extra weight is between the wheels. Does it have something to do with improving the aerodynamics of the top? Then why is there no different part #? Besides curiosity, I ask because I have a set of passenger syncro springs I'd like to put on my camper to improve the front approach angle a little...
