Subject:      SPRINGS [here's some info!]

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
