    No
    Used coilovers if you want full adjustability. I would go with the Tein Flex's

    I am going to be selling my Tein S Techs if you are interested. I think combined with the Koni's it would be a nice combo.

    You might want something on the stiffer side. Those bigass tires are going to rub if you drop it too much.

    If you're really worried about rubbing I'd just go with a cheap coilover set from the get-go. That way if anything rubs you can just raise the ride height in the rear, the springs should also be stiff enough to where the car barely moves.

    Koni inserts work especially well on the wagons since you dont have to worry about the camber issues introduced by using sedan struts on a wagon. Regarding springs, the Prodrives work well with the wagons and they sit high enough to where you shouldnt have much of a problem rubbing. Konis are around $600, you should be able to find some used Prodrive springs for around 200.

    yep, I get a bit on the inside strut when pushed a lil hard with ppl in the car I believe my rear struts and or springs are giving out in the rear so I might as well up grade.
