No, and yes.

Syncro springs are different than 2wd springs.  Also, there were
different spring rates for different model configurations.  The
Westfalias have the stiffest springs, and have blue paint blotches on
them.  Some have brown or yellow spots.

Probably not critical to match the spring rate to the model, but springs
should match each other.

Subject: Question about Vanagon Springs

Are all Vanagon spring sets the same? Specifically, will springs from
an 87 fit my 83?

Thanks,
