Mine are made by "Suplex", but yeah, they are just aftermaket springs for the T3, theres nowt special about them, I think with the VAT mine are about £60 a pair.
I can get the Spidan ones, but there seems little point when the Suplex ones are so competativley priced.
Rear springs with green paint band are just normal, standard T3 syncro springs.

Well, that i guess answers a question for me.

I remember CJ saying to me once that a 'certain' german supplier used 2wd front springs as part of his lift kit, he never told me which one.

I guess it must be busschmiede.....

sime you can get 4" adjustable platforms aswell as the more common 2.25" platforms and 4" springs that are flat on the bottom to allow for the platform to turn when adjusting for coil over bodies. i have progressive ones on my escort but dont know if they do springs big enough for a syncro. will check it out tomorrow.

Just a quick update.
I have 2 sets of coil overs on the shelf, spring seats are made.
They are going to the anodisers tomorrow (tuesday) and once they return the coil overs will be avaialble to buy.
Price not finalised yet.
Sorry this has taken so long.
I have plenty of spring seats and can get the dampers made in a couple of weeks if I need more.
Spring seats now aluminium.
Damping control now allen key, so if you cut a bit of innertube it will fit over the damper body and keep the crap out!
:ok

These have totally transformed the way my 16" drives and it's a heavy beast with 255 Tyres. Turned up close to the max and it's like a go cart and backed off it's super comfy. Only downside is their so shiney you'll be under the van cleaning them every weekend.
