Wolfsburg's sit 30 mm (~ 1.2") lower than pre-88 non-syncro's, 88 and later
Vanagon's have the same springs as the 87 Wolfsburg, the supplement that
came with the Wolfsburg's is transcribed here <
http://www.251.org/myvgon.html >, about half way down the page.  From what I
understand the rest of the suspension is the same as well as the brakes.
I have installed MSDS's stainless steel brake lines, but not the whole
system.  I like the lines, they have not caused any problems, the pedal feel
is very firm.  The only gripe I have is the fittings have a require a
standard wrench, 9/16" I believe.  For photo's of the brake lines go to <
