did you install new springs in the front also? I didn't but maybe I should have. I'm low in the front as compared to spec + it doesn't seem that people use spacers (or do anything??) there?
with 16" wheels, I'm 23.3" (590mm, should be 610mm) in front and 24.5" (620mm, should be 605mm) in back.
the worn sedan springs are 390mm long uncompressed + the new wagon springs I put in were 10-12mm longer, just a hair over 400mm iirc... they are not Aero springs though.
the 10cm + the difference in stiffness of new wagon vs used sedan springs gained me more than 2" in ride height in the back!
thanks for the great data!
