    2l vs 2.5l petrol rear springs t4

    hey guys i have a set of rear springs out of a 2.5l lwb petrol t4, i am wondering if the spring would raise my rear up if i swapped out my rear 2lt swb springs for them. ive already got 2.5l petrol front torsion bars in. i just wanna raise the rear up abit. so are the lwb springs taller and stronger is pretty much what i want to know .

    well i put on the 2.5l P springs and double stacked the top rubber spring hats and gained a 30mm increase in rear height . so ive now got more clearance offroad for my towbar. and i can load it up more before i start to get the rear brake bias, which was happening with only 50-100kgs before. due to my front being up high.

    I put 225/70X15 tyres on our T4 & it squared up the speedo & gave an extra 1" in ground clearance.

    Sorry for hijack; do you get any rubbing with your 225s?
