raise my syncro!! help wanted

Post by vwjon »

hi guys, the springs on my syncro caravell have gone soft, and with the extraweight i am carrying around i think i need to lift it a little or at least fit stiffer springs.
i'm told that standard t25 springs will lift my syncro, is this true?
or ford v8 springs up front with spacers at the rear
i also heard that for the rears bmw 5 or 6 series towing springs are bigger n better.
has anyone done any of these?
can anyone recomend a suspension kit?
cheers jon
such is life
he who dies with the most toys wins.
when im at those pearly gates i want to tick ALL the boxes!
you laugh at me because i'm different, i laugh at you because you're all the same!

There are syncro.org springs (US) and there are Seikel springs. The former are supposed to be well matched to EMU shock absorbers and about perfect for a syncro camper weighing over 5,000 lbs without going too far stiffness wise. The Seikel's are possibly a bit stiffer than the syncro.org ones.
