If you just want springs then look for swift springs! They are supposed to work with you stock struts and no saggy butt. They are wagon specific, I have seen pictures of them and they look sweet on wagons. Im planning on picking some up when I get the money, I think they run about 250 to 300 and you are not supposed to get a bouncy ride with these.

So did I. I ran MRT front camber plates and some camber bolts in the back. Could get pretty much any camber set up I wanted.

I just pulled the SpecC set up and it's for sale. Complete. Cheap.
