Multivan -30mm Springs

Post by Cyrus »

Can anyone help,
I have these springs can anyone tell me if they`re Westy Multivan -30mm springs before I fit them?
I`ve looked on wiki but appears to me that they`re just uprated.

It looks like you've got 2 syncro springs (lower photo) and I can't identify the springs in the upper photo.

My thoughts too.
I purchased them in good faith that they were removed from a '90 multivan.

I got caught by that one, the seller's defence was - "they were removed from a multivan but they might not be the original springs" and that was that.

the fronts are 305mm
And rears 225mm
Roughly.


Does anyone know the length of standard ones?

The length is kind of irrellivant as it depends of the stiffness/amount and thickness of the coils that determines be how much the spring is compressed under vehicle weight.
You could have a longer spring that ends up giving a lower ride height if that makes sense.
