Volks,

The insurance runs out on my Syncro Double Cab in a few days and I will be
doing some p.m. on it before winter really hits hard.  One of the things I
will be doing is sending my front springs to a company to get them analysed
and some new taller ones made up.  Cost is about $200 US plus shipping for
a pair of springs.  Now this brings me to a few questions for the group.

- Is anyone interested in a set of springs?

If so:

- How much lift would you want?

The most common measurement in the survey that I did is 47.5cm (from the
wheel center to the fender lip) static and 55.5cm fully extended.  This
leaves me to think that a static height of 51 or 52 cm would be about the
max that one could do.  This translates into a 3 to 4cm lift (1 1/4" to 1
1/2") to leave some travel in the front suspension.

- Should the rate remain stock or should they be stiffer?

Any other considerations I should look into?
