914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Need help finding Coil Springs

Posted by: r_towle Apr 5 2004, 04:29 PM

I cannot find coil springs for my Eurovan.
I could go to the dealer $$$$$, but I need a stiffer spring rate than they offer (I broke the stock ones)

I found a company that says if I send them a coil spring, they can measure it and send it back....that takes the van off the road for a week I cannot afford.

So...I was hoping that one of you guys might direct me, or sell me...springs for the rear...coils...stiffer...1993 VW Eurovan MV

What dia are the springs, and what is the uncompressed length?

You can get replacement springs in a number of diameters (2 to 5 in dia) and lengths ( 5-10 ins), and spring rates (100-1500lb) from a number of manufacturers like Eibach,Hypercoil etc...

Truechoice.com has a wide selection of springs, as does Coleman, Hoerr, etc..

Rich,

Try Ron Salmon at the Bus Depot. He has some Eurovan stuff.

http://www.busdepot.com/index.jsp

They aren't listed on his site but he can order parts from VW and a number of other sources. Parts are always at a discount and service has been great.

you might also try IPD (the volvo folks) they have a suspension division which services trucks suvs and motorhomes.

Winnebago had built a mini motor home on the eurovan cutaway for years, so they might be able to help or point you somewhere.

you could always go back stock and add air bags inside the coils?

Korjo...
I have seen the sport springs...not good for me, I dont want to lower my car...
I use it for construstion and I like the ground clearance...but Korjo..take a look at Projekt Zwo
Yes that is how it is spelled.

Duck..I forgot all about IPD...I own four Volvos and I forgot all about them...

Thanx guys.
