We now have German Boge springs. Boge is the original supplier of the
Vanagon springs.

Other than our springs, all of the aftermarket ones that I am aware of
either dramatically lower the van, or raise it somewhat. They are also
stiffer, which does result in a harder ride. While some users do prefer such
modifications from stock, if you want to maintain roughly a stock look and
feel you will want the Boge springs.
