Hello, I have a 2003 Eurovan MV Weekender. Im in the process of doing a full suspension and steering refresh on her. The front is done. On the rear I was replacing trailing arm bushings, spring pads, shocks, sway bar bushings. When I got the Springs out I realized they were pretty rusty so I figured Id replace them.
Im NOT interested in lowering the van with aftermarket performance springs. That lead me to VW parts. There are two springs listed but I dont know whats different between them. The parts dept pulled up the VIN and got spring 1H551111K which is not available. the other spring listed at VW is 70151115L. My guess is the listed one is for the weekender camper and the other is for the non camper MV.
Does anyone know the difference in the two springs?
Does anyone know of a spring for the weekender that doesnt lower the van?
Thanks so much for the help |

Here are some photos of the Heavy Duty version of the T4 springs that I installed last year ... The Supplex catalog link is down below. Info on VW T4s is on page 641 of the PDF.
they've worked out great btw

Let me know if you replaced your springs - what did you do with the old ones? |
