Does anybody have a picture of a GLS/MV rear coil spring (p/n 7D0511105) that can be compared to a EVC rear coil spring (p/n 701511105K)? I've had no luck finding any info on the spring rate of either spring, so simply comparing the resting length and/or number of spring coils might help answer whether the spring rate of the EVC spring is actually stiffer than the GLS/MV spring. (I would suspect this to be the case as it is with Vanagon springs...)

Thanks!

Here's a pic of an '03 EVC spring, may help if someone has a photo of an MV spring.

I wonder if a Vanagon rear spring would work on an EV

These are Westfalia and Carat springs side by side
