Wagon with a system... how to pick rear struts?

[Sarthos]

Is there another recommendation you'd make for rear springs? I'd like to use those front springs since they seem to ride relatively smooth, idk what to use for rears really. I do know using a stiffer spring would make me wanna use the koni yellows anyway, since you want a stronger strut for the stiffer spring

i am by no means very well versed in this but I would think a stiffer spring would over compensate for a weaker strut, in other words the spring would be taking more of the load and the strut would be doing less work...so in this I would not think a stiffer strut is needed but at the same time it wouldnt hurt. As for springs.....I know if you have a coilover setup, you can call Ground Control, KSport, who ever made your coilover setup and you can order just 2 springs and you can specify the spring rate, choosing stiffer then what you have if you so desire. But your not using coilovers.....you might can try calling and seeing if Tein will sell springs in pairs and offer stiffer springs. DEF get other opinions on this but all i know for SURE is that springs will cost you a lot less then struts.

A stiffer spring won't compensate, it will just make the bounces faster and more prominent'

When in doubt... Koni Yellows

Yah, springs are less expensive, but stiff springs put a lot of stress on struts. That's why if you lower a car on stock struts the struts die quickly.
