Subject:My butt is sagging
From:Ryan Heidcamp

When my 85 Wolfsburg Edition Westy (non full camper, but pop top) is sitting
on a level surface, its butt is sagging.  I replaced all four corners with
KYB shocks, which are fine.  But I'm guessing I need to replace the rear
springs.  I remember that there was some debate on what springs to use, when
I was on the list a year or so ago.  They apparently used different color
dots on the springs, depending on floor plan of your bus.  So my question,
is which springs do I need to order?  I'm not looking for excellent
handling, firmer ride, lowered ride or anything like that.  Just OEM quality
is fine.  I just want to improve the self esteem of my Westy.  Next
question, where is the best place to order these from?  Ken, do you carry
them?

Thanks,
Ryan
