Hi Guys..

i've been doing a fair amount of reading, and seem to be going round in circles...

i am a lil bit away from needing some new suspension for my wagon.

i am pretty confident in the KYB shocks and will chose something from the range..

but the question i have, is i like the height of the standard rears, and i think i would probably keep standard height in there.. but want to take some of the paris to dakar out of the front end. would i be using lows? or something lower??

can i use STI's from a newer model, as i have read about the lego like interchangeability of the springs... or can anyone tell me of what hey have used in the front??

should i use lowered (of any height) and standards in the rear... will this cause issues anywhere? or would it look stupid???


Cheers again guys and sorry for the stupid questions...

Lowered a little on the front with stock on the rear isn't really a stupid idea. When I was halfway through doing mine. It actually had an improvement with just the front dropped (they were about even then). But then I put springs in the rear :P Can't imagine it causing any issues. Probably should do all 4 though.

You would need springs that fit it - I believe the the only difference is the wagons take a different rear spring (longer I think).
