Kennyfvholla Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah, you might have Outback struts....They are roughly two inches taller when compressed, and just over an inch taller when extended. No one actually makes "wagon" lowering springs anymore... They are technically supposed to be stiffer than "sedan" springs, as it was from the factory (OEM wagon spring rates were about 60 lbs/in stiffer than OEM sedan springs).

flighterpilot Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 The kyb excel-g struts I ordered were the 33415's, and the 33416's. I seem to have the same issue (rear h&r springs seemingly too short for struts). This is on my 98 brighton wagon, and even with the 3/8" strut spacers I'm still experiencing minor butt sag. =/ Did you ever find the right struts?

gergeek Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I ordered the kyb gr2s for my 98 LGT sedan I have installed: 334111 and 334112 on the front 33415 and 33416 on the rear I think you ordered the wrong one, check here http://i40.tinypic.com/hx15he.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the H&R springs, right? If you take off your rear struts, the spring isn't loose? This combination is a popular set up. I'm surprised this is the only post mentioning it.
