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.

I thought only the spring rates were different.

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.
