    not heaps, but a bit more than wagon springs. the difference in rates is because you can stuff more crap in the back of a wagon. so once you start loading it up on sedan springs, it sags heaps

    No it won't drop the rear heaps just a little more than on a sedan, like having 1 passenger in the back.
    Some of these guys are talking through their backsides.
    A VS wagon is only about 40kgs heavier than a VS sedan (exucutives).
    I've had Kings KHPR24sl (superlow) in my wagon and found it too low (bad driveway) but kings KHPR24 (wagon lowered) were too high.
    So now I use KHRL20 (Sedan lowereds) and it sits just right.
    I could use KHRL20HD (heavy duty) for the same static height but the ride would be harsher as they have a thicker wire.
    Heavy duty's would be the way to go if you were using the car for towing or carrying heavy loads.

    Superlow sedan springs in a wagon would drop it heaps, be like using wagon ultra lows (kings khpr24sssl).
    But the original question was can he put wagon springs in a sedan.
