Finally! A fully progressive, 1.5" lifting spring for the Vanagon 2WD. These springs are a GoWesty exclusive design. They are made in Germany by H&R Spring. These are the real deal, truly progressive (not just "wishful thinking" progressive). For the complete story on these springs, and a thorough explanation as to why they are the way to go, click here.
Powder coated gray. Does not require special tools to install. However, the installation of these springs is very difficult, even with a car hoist AND all the correct tools, and requires a 4-wheel alignment after installation. GoWesty recommends that a professional shop with alignment tools install these springs.
Note: After installing your GoWesty lifting springs, you will need to have the front end re-aligned. It is important to note that our springs raise your Vanagon to the limit. That is, we designed these springs to make the vehicle as high as possible and still make it possible to get the alignment within specification. We have installed many sets of these springs in our shop. We can assure you: It is possible to properly align the front end after the vehicle is lifted. Please read this article for tips on doing so!
We are now including a pair of our ball joint spacers with every 2WD spring set. These spacers will help with alignment on all lifted 2WD Vanagons.
FITMENT NOTE: These springs are designed for the Vanagon waterboxer platform. If you have an engine conversion that has a different weight or weight distribution, your Vanagon may not sit level. These springs are NOT designed to compensate for Vanagon engine conversions. For additional leveling, check out our spring lift pads, available below.
