Gen4 wagon bilsteins on sedan

Postby WIDELOAD » Wed Jul 17, 2013 7:53 am

Hey guys as per the subject.
Will a set of wagon billies fit a sedan, i know the springs are different. But are the struts the same?
I've searched through here and have found that with sedan to wagon there are spacers needed, but is that because people are using the sedan spring, or is the whole sedan strut shorter than the wagon ones.

Cheers.

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting some suspension off these forums and wondered, If I wanted to put sedan bilsteins on my wagon, what springs would be best to keep it at stock height does anyone know?
Cheers

From what i've found. Stock wagon springs, or get a set of saggy bum spacers to space the sedan gear to suit the wagon.
