Default Suspension differences between sedans and avants
Hey all, I'm about to buy some H&R springs, and bilsteins for my 95 Avant. Thing is, they're from a sedan. What can I expect? Should I remove a coil off the front springs to compensate for the increased heft of the wagon in back? Or was their aftermarket wagon specific suspension available? What should I be expecting?

Agreed. The 10mm spacers are "just right" with H&Rs and no load in the back. Don't forget the modified camber plates up front.

Not trying to be a dick, just being honest. Why not buy two sets? Heh. They look nice and all, but they're overpriced for what they do.

Where are these spacers sold at? Anybody have a used set laying around they'd like to get rid of?

not necessarily overpriced if you need infinite control of your setup. If you are just lowering you can "Igor" your plates.
