Hi everyone,
We've just bought our Beach, which is on factory-fitted lowered springs. Lovely to drive, and I'm aware of the problems of putting it back on standard springs (rolling, wallowing and sea sickness!), but we live down a fairly bumpy road leading to the odd scrape underneath, and so we're thinking that we could do with a little extra ground clearance. So, after a some advice:
- Does any body know what the practical clearance difference would be. I've read somewhere around 30mm, does that sounds about right?
- Does anybody know what springs come as standard? I've looked it up on Euro Car Parts, and suitable front springs seem to be this one (https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/sachs-coil-spring-627446220). Rear springs though come in standard (https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/starline-coil-spring-627445119) or heavy duty (https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/sachs-coil-spring-627445210) - would the standard Beach springs be the heavy duty ones to come with the extra weight? VW have quoted me a silly price to do the work, but were cagey on what parts they were going to use!
- Does anyone have a set of standard springs from a beach that they'd be willing to sell, after converting the other way round?
Thanks!
