Haha...but you can.  Search the web for spring manufacturers near
you...find the best one that has all the right equipment and
routinely does what we're doing, take a set of springs
there...have them do measurements of the van, or you do them, get
them to quote for various quantities, then set up the list
purchase.  I bet the cost of 10 pairs of front springs is about
$50 a piece, or less.  The rears are much more complicated and
costly because they are progressive wound out of wire that
decreases in diameter at the ends..  On the syncro westfalia,
though, it''s the fronts that are really too soft....the rears
are not too bad.
go for it!
