Installing Sedan Springs/Struts in Wagon

Postby SeanSpencer » Wed Oct 09, 2013 4:15 pm

Hey guys i have recently found out that if you install sedan springs into a wagon that you get a bit of sag in the A$$.

I was curious if there is any solution to fix this problem, and if it is expensive and what parts are needed to fix this.

They are Lovell Springs with stock shocks which i am looking at buying off of "Bert_"

Saggy bum spacers. Mark aka cruisin was making them a while ago if not paranoid fabrications make them. I bought a set for the wife's wagon from paranoid. Around $120 a pair with longer bolts and spacer.

Bert's springs will look sweet in a wagon. Maybe take about an inch off the front instead of lifting rear up.

You'd need to install them first to see how much they actually sag on a wagon before you decide how big of a space you'll need.

I made myself 9mm spacers for the rear. Went around to pretty much any bolt or automotive store around town trying to find longer studs for the top hats but had to settle for just normal bolts.

Take them off the strut and take them to all springs in moorebank and get them reset or cut(with a grinder) 1/4 coil off
