Hi
First post...

Just got a Microbus 2.5 2WD, it's sagging in the front, I've fitted new shocks so has to be springs.

I want to lift it just a bit higher than normal. 
Saw Gowesty has a set Thumbs Up but the exchange rate to the Rand is MAL, gonna cost R10 000.00
for springs and shipping.
I've heard you can get taxi springs in SA but what taxi springs EXACTLY???? 
or has anyone tempered their original springs and extended it a bit?

PLEASE HELP, thanks guys.

Got a set of GoWesty lift springs for sale chap. Only have 500 miles on and are in as new condition apart from a couple of chips where the spring compressors have been.

Will double check shipping weight but think it will work out at R7000 delivered Smile

Elvis, is that for all four springs and are they the zero lift springs or the 1.5' lift springs?
And where are you based?

A full set of four. They are the zero lift ones which, as above, gave 17" between centre of wheel and bottom lip of arch. After reading various posts decided against the 1.5" as these appear to be for Americans who have every accessory on the market bolted to their (Very heavy!) van.

Am in the UK but can ship easy enough
