Chris,


 I have never owned a Westy. However, having owned an '85 GL an '86 L, and a
'90 Carat I can tell you my personal preference is for the higher springs.


The main reasons are
1. I just think the higher ground clearence looks cooler
2. Being on the non-skinny side I find it much easier to climb under the
regular springs to do any repairs should then need to be done than I do the
carat style. (for those times that jack stands and a reliable jack not
available)


Again this si just my personal preference.










nks,


Jeff
'90 Carat (Grover)
'86 (We call this one Parts)
'78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus
