Wagons have longer springs at the back as standard. The springs you have put on are designed for the saloon, it's best to have spacers to raise the rear. Prodrive springs fit either.

Got a similar issue with my WRX wagon - where can I get spacers so I can use saloon springs and struts on rear?

So do you think the universal rubber spacers on ebay are good enough or is there a special kit as just had a blast on google

Not sure where to get them from in the UK, but here is what you need:

..:::PARANOID FABRICATIONS:::...

I'm sure any of the firms who specialise in suspension setups (Powerstation, Mocom etc.) could get hold of some or make them up.

Just ordered some 1/2" spacers from Paronoid Fabrications - they look perfect and should solve my problems. Will post a picture once I've got them on.
thanks for the link
