Is this for a Syncro or 2 wd? Makes a big difference. Syncro front end
alignment is effected by spring height. The angle of the upper control arm
affects both the camber and toe. If too far from horizontal when loaded,
weight will affect the toe angle. A 2 inch drop will also effect suspension
travel.

Subject: KAW springs anyone?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone installed KAW springs on the van, or better westy.
they are readily available in germany and i am thinking of importing a set.
they are 30mm front 40mm rear lower, that makes them less extreme than the
H&R.... they come either on their own or with specifically adjusted koni
shocks, but the latter might be above my price range and is also too heavy
for german post to ship.
I am not really into lowering the ride, but my wife feels a little unsafe
and gets sick on winding roads, and I have to admit we are not off road too
often as that the clearance loss would really matter.
