    Cabby/touring spring rates.

    I'm sure not many of you guys know off the top of your head what the stock spring rate for the touring is. I put coupe springs and shocks on the rear of the kombi (germans use that word for touring here) and its saggin a little lower than I'd like it. I'm assuming that the rear of this monster is about the same weight as a cabby. Maybe a bit heavier..... but eh fuck it. So.... what should I do here? I've got bilstein sports and RD blues on the thing. I don't know the specifics.... and quite frankly don't care :D Just wanna bring it up in the rear. Looks like someone paddled its ass and its runnin round with its tail between its legs.

        Thought about that. Just puts a bandaid on it though don't it? Thing is still overloaded in the rear.... I plan on using it like a wagon.... Hell I am right now. Still got Mike's mtech I valance and bumper in the back of it. Hell.... crammed my soldier and his bags back there with it today.


        If someone wants to sell rear only GC's I guess I'd go for that..... I don't mind the front. Thats fairly low and will even out once I put some bigger wheels on it. But who will sell on the rears?

            Is that the blanket statement that covers everything like how Rob always wins the polls? *LOL*
