Shock/Strut and Spring recomendations

Featured Replies

I have an 88 GL Wagon whose suspension has gone bye bye. Surprising I know. :)

 

I would like to replace the shock/struts and springs with heavy duty ones. I am not worried about raising the wagon any, though I won't mind if it get raised a few inches. I am not planning on off-roading, but I would just like to be able to haul things without worrying about shortening the life of my suspension.

 

So, what would all of you SubieGurus recommend?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

P.S. I should mention that my little wagon is FWD and 5-speed if that makes any difference.

Yes, My White EA82 Wagon, has in the Rear= Honda Accord Front Springs, and in the Front= Ford Tempo`s Front Springs... Better Handlin`

Good Luck! :)

Any recommendations on exactly which parts to track down? Years of the cars in question or whatever?

 

And what about shocks/struts, just go with the regular ones or are there some heavy duties that would be better?
