No that is incorrect but the subject is not that simple anyway. While
2wd springs originally came in different lengths and stiffness'
depending on year and options, all of the Syncro springs are the same
AFAIK. Most Syncro front springs are about 1 1/2" shorter and rears are
about 1 1/2" longer than 2wd springs. I refer to standard springs in
reasonable shape from the similar years. I have multiple sets of both
kinds. I have measured dozens of springs, looking for the tallest and
stiffest I could find before deciding to have custom sets of both types
made. I did not measure or care about the factory lowered springs that
some 86+ models came with as I wanted taller not lower. Yes, early
Westys tend to have badly flattened springs so who knows if some may be
shorter than Syncro springs that have not been flattened.
