Wagon specific springs on d-specs?

I have been reading around about Tokico D Specs and in the long run is the strut i want to get. For now i am looking to invest in some wagon specific prodrive springs. I was wondering if anyone who knew if wagon specific springs fit on sedan struts? Do i need sedan springs? TIA

What are you aiming for with your suspension setup?

Short answer is that the only significant difference between a 'wagon' strut and a sedan strut is the front bolt location. Sedan struts have bolt holes that are farther out from the center line of the strut to accommodate the sedan's wider front track. If you put sedan struts on a wagon, it works but you lose a bunch of negative camber. I think the rear is the same for wagon or sedan, but might be wrong. If you are going to be performance driving (auto-x or track days), you might consider front camber plates.

You can put wagon springs on a sedan strut no problem - this is what most of us wagon peeps do since the availability of wagon-specific adj struts is so limited.

My suspension setup would be aimed toward daily driving, auto x here and there, and maybe a track day if/when i am ready. The setup i got in mind is d-specs w/ prodrive springs. From there i would change the front to sedan spec (control arms, end links, swaps) I'm just lookin to run springs for now. Time to go buy my springs then.

edit: thanks for the help *******
