Coilovers for a wagon?

[Wagon Daddy]

I am looking at upgrading my suspension. The insurance $$ from the guy rear-ending me last week is going to pay for a few additional parts to my car...

Because I have a wagon, I am a bit weary of the additional weight in the rear. Because of that, I have been thinking of the tein coilovers. I have to replace the shocks anyway, so it really isn't that much more than getting say a set of Suspension Techniques and some Bilsteins. Any comments from y'all about what you think would be a good setup?

A big priority for me is to make sure the ride doesn't go to shit. If it does, my wife will kill me for spending a bunch of money and not being a family car. I keep trying to point out it is mine, but she controls the sex so she wins... I know the Teins are 6kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear. Does anyone know the stock springrate for me to compare it to?

not sure of the factory rates but have found that using a sedan drop spring will let the rear sag. i had to space the rears 1/2 in to get it level. coil overs make it easy to maintain a level ride height, ride quality won't suffer if you use a good coilover. adjustable struts also help

yea if u get springs don't get sedans. they are great in the front but the rear its a no no. wagon to heavy in the rear. the wag in my signature has had dropzone coilovers for the past 3 years and man they have been great for me.

lmao. that was funny. me personally i don't do the coil overs. i have heard of too many disappointed peeps. if i did coilovers though i might as well go with the exspensive ones and do it right. but thats even if they make it for the wagon. i'd go air before i go coil. but i wanted the lowest drop i could get in springs so i got the h&r race springs with kyb agx shocks. if i remember correct, they dropped me 2.00 and 2.25. after setting i think it went just a tad bit pass those number though.
