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.





Cheers for your help.

Here are the spring codes (stolen from the Brickyard).
Front springs.

2x Blue - Normal.

2x Brown - Carat, Camper, Ambulance.

2x Green - Strengthened, increased payload.

1x Yellow - 30mm lower.

2x Violet - Syncro.



Rear.

2x Yellow - Normal and for increased payload or heavy duty shock absorbers

2x Brown - Ambulance.

2x Blue - Passenger carrying vehicles, Kombi.

1x Green - 30mm lower.

2x Green - syncro.

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.

I've just had quick measure,
the fronts are 305mm
And rears 225mm
Roughly.


Does anyone know the length of standard ones?

Any know the length of standard springs? Someone must have one laying around they could measure?

Plllllleeeeeeaaaassssseeeee

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.
