I finished my Syncro 2.1 waterpump replacement and took a closer look at
the springs in these 2 vans. I am no longer as confident in my assertion
as I was when I made it. While I have no way to be certain that each has
it's original springs, they don't look different and the heights are
close enough to call the presence of different springs into some doubt.
The 87 is parked as a parts van so I can't take proper measurements. The
88 GL I use daily and it never felt like it had the lowered springs but
it does have tall tires. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
