Should I put the rear springs on my wagon?

[landark]

I just put the front springs on and I am debating about whether or not to put the rears on.

They're H-techs and I have 3/8" saggy butt spacers.

My concerns are that the H-techs are a lot softer than the stock wagon springs and I don't want to give up a substantial amount of performance for only a slight appearance upgrade.

Also, I have 18" winter wheels and tires that will be going on next month and I plan on getting a summer set early next year. So I don't want to rub.

 

Are my fears founded or should I just go ahead and put them on?

are you guessing on them being softer or have you looked @ spring rates? Ive got H techs on my exam & the ride is definately harsher than stock. Less body roll, road imperfections are more noticeable (esp. the bad ones). I am a big fan of the raked look, but think u might be better off with the springs & shims installed in the rear. That said, if you like the ride/look as is, then i dont see why you should change. From an outside perspective though, i think it would be smart to match.

Well, not a lot of feedback and I got impatient. Thanks to Bagheera for your thoughts. I went ahead and put the rears on.

Definitely not a drastic drop which is exactly what I wanted.
