Wietec and H&R both offer lowering springs for the Vanagon. Koni and

all of the above ;)
I've got H&R springs on my 87 GL. Cool looking but can give you a wicked ride
if you have the wrong wheels and tires on there. I don't particularly like
the raked (lower front) stance. Increases steering effort and transfers weight
forward. The stock Vanagon was pretty much 50/50 weight distribution.

Chris, can you post prices on the shocks (or pmail me)?

Thanks,
