Default Which springs for my Wagon

Hi guys

ive got a facelift classic wagon and I'd like to bring it down to earth a bit, while maintaining comfort as I drop my youngest to school everyday etc

I take it the wagon springs are different to the saloons?

Thanks, Yodi

Personally I would say eibach springs, gives a nicer stance and better handling, I have prodrive on my blob and as far as I'm aware there rebranded eibachs and I can't knock em

I think I need a top mount on the rear too, but no one can confirm which pattern part fits a UK wagon

uk wagon is same as saloon for springs & top mounts.

prodrive springs will drop it this much

Prodrive springs (blue) are made by Eibach but are a linear spring, whereas the Eibach branded (red) are a progressive spring

Thanks mate, thats a good enough drop for me.

I might be better off with the progressives as I use it everyday, take kids to school etc
