The wagons had heavier springs, for cargo, and smaller sway bars than the sedans, as noted in the previous post. The handling result was the same, lots of understeer. I tightened up the rear suspension on my wagon with 23/21 turbo sedan bars and ipd's overload coils, the handling is still safe and balanced, even on wet roads.

I don't have any experience with ipd's sway bars, but hear they're the best for use on pavement. I do some "off pavement" driving on old logging roads in my wagon and accept a little more body roll for the added flex I get driving over washes and potholes. The turbo bars still outperform stock by a good bit.
