Subject:Spring advice

Hi everyone.  Looking at new springs and wanted to bounce a few ideas around.  Ha.

1985 Westfalia automatic with 2.1 Boston Bob motor.  Stock 14 inch wheels but hopefully upgrading to 16 inch wheels before long.

Does anyone have any experience with the Bus Depot springs, or Go Westy?  Bus Depot are about $400, and I believe maintain the stock ride height.  

Go Westy is $328 and can either lower by 2 inches, maintain, or increase ride height by 1.5 inches.  I’m leaning towards maintaining stock height.

It seems like my rear end is always sagging.  I’m almost thinking about buying stock front springs and +1.5 inch rear springs.  Is that a stupid thing to do?

Apples to apples, any big difference between Go Westy and Bus Depot zero lift springs?

Thanks
Jeff
