Default Classic Wagon suspension

Can somebody help me please... I've tryed looking to see if a similar thread has been on here before ( can't find one ). Are the rear suspension struts on a Classic Wagon the same as on the Classic Saloon . One of my rear struts is knackered I think, and I've got the chance to get hold of some rear struts of my mate's Saloon.

Cheers Paul.

Struts are exactly the same but the rear springs have a different rating. The best thing to do would be to cahnge both rear struts instead of just one as wear and tear over the years may make them slightly different heights to yours.

Best of luck

Thanks for reply . I was going to change both anyway . Might look at getting standard ride height springs but stiffer compression.

Cheers Paul.

Would a prodrive proffesional setup work on a wagon then or not? Its made for a classic saloon if I recall correctly, I was going to buy a set this week but now I'm not so sure if the spring rates differ on the wagon.
