The ETKA did list different springs for various models indicated by paint marks. For the most part the aftermarket sells springs based on height or lift and usually they are replaced in sets of 4. Why do you think you need new ones? These vans tend to ride high in the front. The original rears do need to be checked for condition of the thin tails. These ends tend to rust and then break leaving a chance for a spring to work out.

Hi everyone. I need new front springs for an 85 Westfalia. Are they the same as every other year? For some reason I thought they were unique? Stock wheels and tires. 

Thanks
Jeff
