Started installing the new GW standard height springs today. Also have fox shocks in the box ready to go as well. In removing the radius arm bushing it looks pretty ugly: https://skydrive.live.com/?sc=photos <https://skydrive.live.com/?sc=photos&cid=7bf533a9aab41079#cid=7BF533A9AAB41 079&id=7BF533A9AAB41079%211052> &cid=7bf533a9aab41079#cid=7BF533A9AAB410 79&id=7BF533A9AAB41079%211052 Also I noticed the GW springs are about 1/4" bigger inside diameter than the ones I am removing. I did a few dry fits and it doesn't seem to 'nest' on the lower control arm as well - there is a little slop between the spring and the moulded collar on the LCA so where the end of the spring is supposed to but up against it sits out a bit far and is not nicely snuggled in there. Work has stopped while I wait for new radius arm bushings to be shipped, so comments welcome! Otherwise the removal has gone well so far. Came apart pretty easy. Brett91 Vanagon
