I have heard from only a couple of people who purchased the 2WD custom coil springs for the 2WD westy. If anyone has any feedback or ride height measurements, they would be much appreciated. So far, on 3 vans the ride height has been reported as 17.25" up front and from 17.25 to 17.5 in the rear. I left the rear on the low side so people could add leveling spacers without having the rear too high as a result. It is easy to adjust rear ride height upward, not so easy to adjust it downward. Todd Last and I put a set of the production springs in his van and swapped out the prototypes he had since I made some adjustments in the specs for the production run. The ride was nicely firm, which a nice progressive rate that gets firmer as the spring compresses so there is not the diving you get with the stock springs. Cornering and stability were improved, with an increase in usable suspension travel. I will probably do another run shortly if people are interested, with the springs ready in about 6 weeks. p-mail me for info/details. Steve http://www.concentric.net/~Sxs/springs.shtml
