wagon spring question



I have been researching and deciding on what springs I want for my wagon and am almost set on the cobb sport springs but unsure if they will work

http://www.cobbtuning.com/products/?id=2353

how well will they work with my wagon. there are hardly any wagon specific springs, i am mainly worried about but sagg with sedan springs

feedback on what springs you guys have on your wagons would be appreciated, pictures would be awesome

thanks!

Talking

I have been using Swift Sport springs on last 2 wagons(02 and 04) with no sagging and they have a very good ride while not being too low. Crucial Racing, RCE (Racecomp Engineering) , and STi Pinks have wagon specific springs and have been reviewed by other I-club members with good results. Go thei webiste for pics of the Swift springs: http://www.mann-engineering.com/foru...bumid=2&Page=2 Also click on page page 1 for more pics!

crucial racing springs are not wagon specific...they are actually the same for sedan and wagon, however due to their perfect engineering, they work without sagging on wagons and drop the same as they would on a sedan. only 0.1" at the most differance. i'll be running them in a month or so. their website also has tons of pics of wagons to show this.

I have the Prodrive springs on my wagon and really like them. They are not wagon specific but they work great. I would also look into the STI pink wagon springs they are really nice but do not lower the car a lot.

I have also heard good things about the swift stuff

+1 on Crucial Racing Springs. Drop is perfect (for me) and the ride quality with stock struts is pretty good, my GF never complains, lol.

I have an 02 wagon on Pro-Drive springs with Koni yellow inserts.
Pretty even drop about 20-25mm IIRC. Nice ride.

'04 wagon on JDM Pink Wagon Springs + KYB AGX + Group N Tophats.

I like them for Auto-X and for daily driving. Not much of a huge drop but I am more about performance than looks.

Looks really nice, where did you get the JDM pinks? I have a set of prodrives on my wagon I like the springs but they need a stiffer strut paired with them.

Bpang1 , it looks like you have a some extra clearance above your front tire?!?

I just threw some 17" Rotas on my OBS and am noticing a similar thing. I know the wheels dont cause it, but perhaps the offset/narrower tire makes it more pronounced? I will be adding WRX springs soon and I hope that helps.

Is your set-up asjustable?
