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?

Whiteline makes BJ/BF wagon specific springs...

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.

The first size. The 90-91s are tapered and have smaller tops. Anyplace like harman motive or turn in concepts should be able to get them for you as well.
