I was all factory and went OME and Syncro.org springs, and would echo former testimonials in how incredibly better life is now. There may be an increased...

Any idea as to which swepco gear is o.k. for the front diff and tranny. 201, 203, 210, 212- they all seem to be GL-5 rated. I like the idea of running a fluid...

... This is for my 16" Syncro Double Cab. The factory springs had green dots on them in the rear. I haven't checked the fronts. I am still wondering if anyone...
Swepco 201 is what early Porsche guys use. 203 is a great choice, as well. 203 has a moly additive that the Porsche's can't tolerate if they have an LSD....

this oil discussion has been very interesting. i remain somewhat confused however by how a boiled oil (swepco) could be a superior lubricant to a custom...
Interesting. When I measured the coil thickness of all the different colored springs with a caliper they were identical in construction, so I wonder how the...
I'm not an expert but this has been my experience. First off you don't change the tempering to change spring rates. When heat treating you either have a spring...
Personally, I heard a huge difference in the sound of a trans when using Swepco. Not a Vanagon trans, but that of a Porsche. it shifted much smoother and made...
