The Syncro custom front spring project is finished and 12 of the buyers
have received their springs. I am very happy with mine and have heard
good reports so far. During this process numerous people asked about
rear springs. Peter B. and I are now considering taking up this project.
The rear springs are a more complicated design and should take more time
and money as I expect that we will need to have a prototype or 2 made
before we can settle on a final design. Before embarking on this quest I
would like to know how many Syncro owners would be interested in
replacement springs slightly stiffer and taller than our used stock
ones. For purposes of this question, assume a cost of $150 per set of 2
rear springs. If we proceed, I hope to have them done in time to use
them for this summer's voyages. This would be a not for profit
enterprise and aimed only at those Syncro owners who already think that
they might have a use for these springs. This is for Syncros only, not 2
WD vanagons.

Please respond to me privately or to the Syncro list. The Syncro list
should be the primary list for discussion of this project. If you do not
belong to the Syncro list and find this topic to be of interest, you
should subscribe. I do not plan to CC the Vanagon list after this point.
