wagon struts?

Post by speedoboy31 »

anyone switch wagon struts (complete) to a sedan? i know the rates are different, but way wondering what the ride height difference was. planning on taking struts/springs/mounts from a wagon to a sedan-----didn't want probs.

Although not exactly correct yeah. The struts are what mostly determines how stiff the suspension is.

It might raise the back of your car up a small amount as well.

i'm ok with a slight lift to the rear. i tend to carry a little weight back there anyways. thanks for the responses guys.

the back is up a little--kind of looks like the same fender to tire clearence as the front. the ride is slightly stiffer too,but not bad.
