I need your advice. I have an '83 242 with a sagging rear end. Rear trailing arm bushings are new and helped, but the springs are soft and low. I also just put on a set of Turbo Stabilizer bars and this improved handling immensely, but I don't want to lower the car.

The fronts are good so I will just change the rears. My choices are stock sedan springs, stock wagon springs, or sedan overload springs. Since all 240s seem a little low to my eye, I'm leaning towards the wagon or overload springs.

What say you forum?

Thanks!
