Hi everyone!! Getting ready to mess with my 84 sedan soon and am drawing up a list of stuff to purchase...one of which are HIGHER rear coils.

Installed new rear springs 2 yrs ago from a stash of parts I purchased a while back from a classified but am not totally happy. No ID on them whatsoever but assumed they were the HD variety being they had 11 or 12 windings on them and were of the variable style with a tighter winding at the bottom. However it was immediately apparent that they didn't really pick up my rear end much, which is what I had hoped. I cart around a bunch of tools in the trunk so need some extra lift, and occasionally run a trailer. Also installed Sachs all round at the same time. Ride with this combo is fine and not too harsh. TA bushes are not worn.

This is what I found online:

IPD HD "Overload" coils
FCP HD Scan-Tech
MOOG variable rate (these look like the ones I now have - 11 coils)

The MOOGs and the IPDs look similar. The FCPs are not variable rate.

I'm thinking of getting the WAGON version of the IPD springs but want to run this by you guys first. Again, what I need is added height in the rear with a minimal harshness added to what I now have.

Any other suggestions appreciated! thxx!!
