Need Advice on suspension for the wagon.

I need some help/suggestions on finding a good springs/coilovers that is economical.

They need to give
me a small drop
Be decent for daily driving
handle light track use

Also what do you other wagon guys do when you get a little saggy butt?

thanks in advance

p.s. i will most likely stay with springs becuase coilovers are not in my finacial ballpark right now. so some good strut/spring options would be helpful


pardon my noobness, one more thing.

whether is be springs or coilovers, would i need to get wagon specific or would sedans work the same on wagons?

RCE Blacks small drop
RCE Yellows decent drop "check my garage, my car is lowered on Rce Yellows and rides better than the stock springs"

Saggy butt fix can be solved with the spacer mod or add camber plates since most plates actually raise the car.

RCE makes springs for the wagon details are below

Finally, an option exists for Subaru WRX Wagon owners with upgraded struts! Rather then having to choose between spring rates that are too soft, like most wagon specific springs, and a saggy rear end, like most sedan specific springs, Racecomp Engineering is proud to announce an OEM replacement spring for the Subaru WRX Wagon. Designed for use with standard STi inverted struts, Koni Inserts, Tokico D-Spec struts or Ohlins Fixed Perch Replacement struts, these springs are intended for both the daily driven street driver as well as the autocross and track day weekend warrior. Using similar spring rates as the extremely popular and successful RCE Yellow Springs, but having a wagon specific ride height, these are perfect for wagon owners not looking to compromise either ride height or spring rates.

Designed with direct feedback from wagon owners, these are THE solution for Impreza owners looking to prove what a properly set-up wagon with upgraded struts can really do!
