I have H&R springs on my '88 Westy. I would not reccomend them.
very, very harsh ride and I think the stiffness has taken its tool on my front A-arm bushings. They also seem to lower the van to the point that getting a proper alignment is difficult since to get the right settings you have to move the adjusters to their max positions.

One the plus side, I can fit under a 6' 8" clearance garage, and it handles like a go-cart.

I'd say these are not for the faint of heart or those with less than perfect roads.
