suggestions for a gen 4 wagon (suspension)

Postby b120ute » Tue May 26, 2015 11:07 pm

Hi guys,

Ive got a gen4 wagon 3.0 which has sagged in the rear (suprise suprise)
im thinking of putting coilovers in with a plan to run it a touch lower than standard

now my concern is that it is the family car (2 baby seats in the back) so i dont want to end up with really firm riding suspension

what do you guys think? should i just put a pair of lowered springs in the front to even out the ride height?
or have you guys had good experience with a particular brand of coilover that rides nice?

ultimately id love to be height adjustable whilst keeping a stock(ish) feel, any suggestions?

cheers
Andrew

I have to agree, skip all other suspension mods and just go Shockworks. Ok maybe upgrade front LCA bushes :)
They ride much like stock but actually work when the going gets tough or interesting :)
