You may place the wagon springs onto your sedan and achieve decent results at minimal cost, if using springs bought from salvage.

If buying new, compare prices of these compared to "overload" or "progressive rate" springs made by TRW, MOOG, Etc.

Upon installation, notice how the D-shaped "saddle" clamp on the bottom of the spring is oriented. Remember to give the final torque with the car on the ground and after you bounce it a few times.

Empty, the car will feel a bit bouncier.

Front springs for wagons are the same as for the sedans. Don't bother replacing unless worn out.
