Ben, Sorry but 2wd springs are not all the same. Greg, if you re-read my posting, you might find that I said 16" & 14" Syncro are the same.
Carats are lower from the factory. I believe that is also written in the second paragraph.
There was also heavy duty springs available as an option on dokas, they have green paint dots. I did not touch the subject of spring rates inybposting because it was late (in California) and I did not want to go into writing about taxi springs, etc. w/o having all the details on hand.And just to be clear, I also specified reference only to FRONT springs. Another FYI, Carat springs gauge (I'm sure spring rate too) from the 84-85 2wd springs.BenT

Greg,I going to throw in my 2 cents here. I own a Syncro 16 Doka. There is no difference between the springs on the 16" Syncros or the 14". There is also no difference between springs on vans or dokas or sinkas for that matter.You can use 2wd springs to raise the Syncro a little. Tallest are from the 1985 models. I recently removed some from a 1984 T3 and compared them to 87-91 Carat springs (all these are 2wd). They Carat springs were about 1.5" shorter. Unfortunately, I did not have a Syncro spring handy for comparison. I did not get an opportunity to check on the rear springs yet.
The coolant is the direct contact. Think of how chrome/zinc plating works.
