I have a set of the Syncro.org springs on my 2wd Westy. I also shimmed both the front and rear spings on the left to level the van. (A trip to the local tap plastics with a drawing of what I wanted yeiled perfect plastic shims) I originally had KYB shocks which were upgraded to Bilstein - great improvement and I'm never turing back. Handling is good, the van handles crosswinds better. It sitts a little taller (I often get the question - Is that a Syncro?) I'm running Michelin 205/75x14 tires on alloy rims. These are a hard compound (high mileage) tire so there is some loss of conering moxie because of that. Overall I'm quite happy with the springs and would buy them again. I had to shim my van because the lean was driving me crazy - even if it was something only I noticed. It was easy to do in back, a little more involved in the front. I have some photos of the springs and install if anyone is interested. regards, Todd -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Oxroad <Oxroad@AOL.COM> Sent: Oct 16, 2003 2:11 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: springs and shocks for my 2WD Westy In a message dated 10/16/2003 2:02:45 PM EST, SEAN.GARRETT@ASU.EDU writes: I'd be curious as to what others experience has been with the Synchro.org springs, especially the 2WD.
