HAHA, I really enjoyed it, it feels very controlled. My only concern for my application, is that my 225 tires will rub on the wagon if I drop it. Its iffy, I can't seem to find a definate answer. Maybe I'll have three of you sit in the back and I'll drive around and see if it rubs, before I put on coils...???

I was surprised at the lack of harshness of the coil-overs. It's just about as bad as my car, and I've just got some bushings and 18"s. The nonexistant roll and dive was very nice.
Definately an option for me to consider!

I think the end links helped alot you will get way more turn in. Did you do the rear stut bar yet and if not you should I hear the rear of the wagon's are real sloppy.

Sloppy like a...er ...never mind..
You're right, a strut brace is essential, I do have a sway bar, but i need new endlinks too. Which ones work best with the Cusco bar? anyone know? |

Once you get your rims you are going to have awesome stearing response, I think right now you have so much response via the coil-overs that it almost feels like you have 17in wheels and low pro tires, I must say the rim change is a really! big difference. :shock: . Man, evan those really rock,, nice job, at least you have some people that can appreciate the time and $money$ you put into your car. AND I think I would be down for a group buy on Perrin endlinks! cause I will be getting a rear sway in a few months anyways.

Hell yeah, I loved the way you car handles, I think coils are in my future.
Anyway, Can you go ahead and order me up some perrin endlinks for my rear swaybar. I can pay you anytime. I would really appreciate it. Matt |

I was checking out Gruppe-s and noticed there was a coil-over set specifically for the Wagon. And its only 900.00$!!! They are called the TEIN Wagon coil-overs.
