Now that the syncro spring project is pretty much
wrapped up, Mark and I will be turning our attention to
2wd springs due to popular demand.  We are having test
springs made right now.  These will be done in late
October.  Once these are field tested, we will do a
production run with the final specs, and will hopefully
have the springs in November or December.  The springs
will be high quality made by one of the oldest and best
spring manufacturers in the world (since 1868).  The
first run of syncro springs have been in use for a year
now and have held up very well under harsh use.

As you may be aware, VW used quite a number of
different springs on the 2wd westys over the years.
The older models in particular have terrible springs,
especially compared to the later years.  Some 2wd vans
have about 1/2" of travel it seems!  The springs we are
having made will be based on the later, taller springs,
and will be very close to stock in terms of stiffness,
although slightly stiffer (like 5% or less) and
slightly taller than the later year springs in order to
restore the lost travel resulting from old sagging
springs.

If you are possibly interested in replacement springs,
let me or Mark know so we can have some idea how many
people might like them.  The past two spring runs we
have done have sold out fairly quickly.  We will keep
those who express interest aprised of the status of the
project.  We will also let everybody know before we
place the actual order.
