WEll, After missing out on most of the springs thread, I have MUCH to say now. First, I bought some Heavy Duty Vanagon Springs from South Africa. And believe me they are tough! I only bought one set (for me :P ) but I guess I could get a whole lot if anyone wants them. I have NOT installed them yet, so I can't vouch for the ride. However, these are HD for the Audi powered Vanagons, which I cannot believe are heavier than a Westy. The Rear springs measures 11" long. The coils are 11/16" thick in the middle less at the ends. The Fronts are 13" long and 11/16" thick coils. I a quickee measure of the front springs on my Westy seems to be 9/16". This may not seem like a lot, but the SA springs surrrre look bigger. Anyway, does anyone want me to look into getting some? James |
