Anyone happen to know if the CIP1 lowering springs for the Vanagon are any different from those made by H&R?
Im hoping so, as Ive read in the archives that you dont really want to do the H&R springs with a Westfalia, which I have. On the CIP1 website, they mention the following: " Very popular with Vanagon Westfalia Owners - as this should allow you to park that Camper in most parking garages. Will work with stock shock absorbers - as these are essentially the same springs offered as an option on the 1988 to 1991 Vanagon GL Series. We do suggest that you install new Heavy-Duty KYB GR-2 GAS shocks for the best possible results. " So, ive already ordered the springs from CIP1, but im wondering now if they are the exact same as the H&R's and if so, what this will mean if I install them - just stiffer ride or bottoming out on occasion? cr |
