If the info I got is correct, these are the different dimensions:
Sedans: 12.7 mm
Wagon standard: 13 mm
Wagon HD: 13.4 mm

The springs I took from a junked wagon semed to be closer to 14 though, but they were admittedly covered with layers of rustproofing. Could also be that they were aftermarket ones with different specs than the above.

One word of caution: Be absolutely sure that you have lowered the axle enough to take absolutely all tension from the springs before you start dismounting the D-shaped disks. There is a lot of kick in them when compressed.

Good luck!

Erling.
