Subject:Re: Peter Seikel Syncro Springs

I have a prototype set of springs on my Syncro Double Cab.  They were QUITE
expensive to get made up seeing how they are one of a kind.  I have made
previous offers to the list that I would be able to a bunch of them (12
sets) made up but there was a marked lack of responce to this idea.

So, I'll ask the question again - who is interested in a Syncro lift kit?

Features are:
- Front springs 15% stiffer and 4-5cm taller (51.5cm from hub to fender)
- Rear shims are 4cm tall

Total price would be $200 USD for the kit.  I have had these in my Syncro
for close to 5000km and I love them!
