Bit stiffy

Hi I have recently bought a 16" syncro crewcab and am looking for a set of springs to improve the ride quality .
The van rides very high and looks like it has uprated springs so it tends to feel every bump on the road so while I like the ride height I don't like the ride ! and makes the bus a bit too Landroverish for my liking
Would anyone here be able to point me in the direction of a reasonable spring supplier for a 16" ?or any other sugestions
Thanks

you may have those fitted (instead of the originals)

but I believe that the 16" is generally a bit on the "utalitarian" side

Where abouts in Ireland are you.. couple or three other syncro's out there in the club so would be worth meeting up, Syncropaddy would be you best man, he knows his syncro's..

One thing you can do to see if they are the Siekels etc.. the rears have 3 coils very tightly wound together in the middle of the spring..
Or you can measure the lip of the wheel arch to the centre of the wheel hob.. (on level ground)

Set of springs sourced ,thanks for the replies .
Yes I've heard of Syncropaddy before and maybe he of me likewise ,it would be cool to get some communal muck under our arches sometime .
