Subject: Lowering a Syncro

Just got a 86 syncro but its to tall by about an inch to make it in the
garage in my building.  My 81 vanagon just makes it.  So I need to lower the
syncro to the same height (or a little lower if possible) of the standard
vanagon. Anyone have any ideas?  Switching to 185s instead of the 205 tires?
Adjustable shocks?  I really need some advice.  Parking in my neighborhood is
very bad.  Plus it will be loaded with work tools which need to be secured.

Thanks John Branstrom
