Alright, I have a TJ Wagon, and I was just wondering how the different rear suspension setup effects what mods i can do to the car. Ie., springs, swaybars etc.
I understand that the latest greatest thing (being Coilovers) won't work. I'm not to technically down with suspension setups.

So yeah, will things from sedans fit the wagon, will I have any issues, anything to keep in mind?

Cheers...

Well on our wagons we don't use struts. So what we can change is springs, shocks and swaybars (Well rather add a swaybar to it).

Must remember though we will need different parts compared to the sedan counterparts due to the mounting differences.

Ok, cool. So I wouldn't have any issues say... Fitting some lowered springs from a sedan to a wagon?

Usualy no you wouldnt have a problem but you might just want to check first, Just in case, I know sedan springs looked different but they may be because they was from different models. Wagons are tough :) you already have a sway bar under every car, Or am i wrong?

Front springs would swap fine but I don't think that the rears would cos of the different setup. The sedans use a mcpherson setup in the rear but the wagons don't. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong though.
