[Es2] springs for ES2

[Peter Schulz]

Rick, this is Peter, not Brandon...

Stop calling me Shirley ;-)

Springs are stock height,  and linear.
Dick Shine is well known in the VW field for performance suspension 
and hard core belief that factory ride heights should be maintained 
so that that complete suspension system can work properly ( ie he 
does NOT sell lowering springs.)

Contact Dick or Eli ( I lent Eli my S2 bumper so he could make a 
fiberglass copy) and tell them I sent you. ( Eli will remember me, 
Dick won't unless you mention that I bought the suspension from his 
wrecked 90Q.
