Ron,
This sounds excellent. I will consider replacing just the fronts to start with to
see if I can level things out a bit. The front of my '88 Westy is sagging badly,
and the KYB GR-2s on the front feel softer than the GasAdjust on the rear, so
perhaps these springs on the front will do the trick.
