Hello Folks, I just got through replacing the coil springs on my sedan and wagon and thought I would give you my two cents worth. I ended up going with the IPD springs (the overload version), the springs that are supposed to be 20% stiffer. Very happy with the result. I like the way the cars both set. I also carry heavy loads of tools around with me and both will still set level. Now the negative, IF you buy a set, make sure to take a grinder to the end of the coil that sits on the rubber cushion (top end). I replaced all 4 of the rubber cushions on both cars, but after a few weeks had a weird vibration start in both cars when hitting a bump etc. Turns out, the end of the coils had cut through the new rubber cushions and the end of the coil was in contact with the bottom of the car. So..... I took a grinder to the end of the coil and flattened it out (like they are on the factory springs) and replaced the brand new (but cut) cushions with another set of new ones. This did cross my mind when I saw them initially, but figured it would just indent the cushion a bit. Had no idea it would actually cut through it. Anyway, other than that, I am very happy with the result :)
