Subject:Re: Which Aftermarket Springs?
From:John C...
Date:Tue, 1 Jan 2008 14:36:12 +0000

Got a 90 Westy 2WD myself, that I would like to re-spring...
But, I'm looking for springs that will (eventually) hold up an SVX ?
Can I use Syncro's in the back?
Also, I would like to raise the bus a couple of inches all around....
haven't found any thing like what I want.
Syncro.org or Bus Depots heavy duty westy springs.
