I'm looking at a JCW cataloge right now and they have an AIR LIFT air springs suspension for 85 to 95 VW Eurovan for $59.98. Says to "restore ride height, improve handling, extend shock life, bla, bla, bla...". Air suspensions work quite well; big-rigs have been using them for years, so it is possible that this is not a JCW questionable product, and AIR LIFT is a known brand name. I'm thinking of trying them when my van gets its new paint and engine and returns to the road. I also remember seeing lowering springs in a Bus Boys cataloge for about $500 (price before your 10% list member discount). You'll be lower--but level. Hope this helps, Garth
