I'm quite impressed with GoWesty's progressive springs. Perhaps my old
springs were just completely worn out, or maybe these springs are just
all-around better, but whatever the reason, the ride is much improved. I can
hit big ol' speed humps at 40mph and the van just BOUNDS over them
gracefully like a deer. The stock spring would just smash down until they
bottomed out. Highway-wise, handling seems roughly the same, but I won't
know for sure until after I get the alignment done.

I too would rather have a Syncro, but I figure I can STILL have a Syncro
some day even though I have my 2wd jacked up.
