Found springs to buy, now what are my sizes?
My brain is fried from looking at so much suspension stuff, here and all over the internet. someone please help me in my time of laziness/confusion. I want to lower my 94 T wagon 1.5-2 inches, preferably a hair less in the rear. I just want to install springs. no swapping struts, or tops. what will I do?

Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.

I saw it last night. to buy the springs: $130, to ship the springs: $130. Now I don't know about you, but I am definitely against paying the same for shipping as I am for a part. (unless it's really small)

H&R sport springs - sold lots of places. I run them and like them...not sure about fit for wagon tho. I'd call them to find out...
What struts are you running now? If they are decent and for a bit more $$ you could convert to coilovers - then you can pick your spring rates (if you dare...)

I love teagues - they arent' always the fastest to ship but Dale is a great guy to talk to and the site has a ton or really great products...
Paul Eklund of Primitive Racing can get the H&R springs at a decent price - has them drop shipped driectly to you super fast service.
Not sure if they are show in the site, but just call him to get a quote and order.

grrrrr......... "NOTES: not wagon" well, looks like whiteline is what it's gonna be. I really didn't want to pay 3+ bills to lower, but "you gotta pay if you want to play", right? thanks guys for your input.
