    A friend of mine was telling me that there are wagon-specific coilovers. Does anyone on here use these?. I may get coilovers for a stiffer ride. My H-techs are just too soft. I am looking at Cusco,Megan Racing and Whiteline. Any ideas?. I would really prefer the wagon-specific ones if somebody knows about these. My friend over here in Kauai has the Cusco Zero 2R's on his STi, but I don't have a need for these since I am not going to use them for auto-x.....I may in the future.

    Sedan ones will suffice. Just be prepared to buy some camber bolts to get the alignment in spec.

    Why not consider just buying Koni inserts?

    mark as far as I know no one makes wagon specific coilovers. I have the JIC FL-A2 setup, and I can not get nearly enough camber (front) with them because of the different lower. Now, the way they are designed they are independantly hight and compression adjustable, so you could get the lower mount made differently for wagons. If you can convince yoshi over at JIC in Cali to do it, I would buy the lower mounts as well.
