In live axle versions. I have a VS wagon and was wanting to know if sedan VR springs would fit.

No they won't fit, the springs for a sedan are not the same as a wagon.

The wagon and ute springs are the same.

VR Executive
Wagons are expected, designed to cary heavier loads that their respective sedan so have a heavier suspension. MY VR sedan couldn't cope with taking the family on hols. Dragged the rear flaps on the road and the load was only what I used to put on my L series Subie wagon, not a lot. The VR springs had only sagged 1 cm so not excessivly softer than standard.

I upgraded the springs to what is recommended for luggage and LPG.
Rides a cm or 2 higher now.

There are other options too but this cost less.

So I would certainly not recommend sedan springs on a wagon even if they physically fit, it would be a real tail dragger.
