I recently purchased a set of A2 lowering springs to fit on my wagon. Needlessto say I'm anxious to get them on the car.
I am trying to approximate the amount of drop. At the moment I cannot remove my current springs.
I would like to know the off-the-car spring height from anyone who has a set of stock wagon springs collecting dust.
Thanks!

Awesome! Thank You.

No progress yet. I will begin work, hopefully, during my spring break.
Where I live now I do not have access to a set of spring compressors and a 30mm axle socket.

@ reddfoxx-
What brand spring did you use? Mine are neuspeeds, with bright green paint.
Thanks for the link. I knew somebody was using them!

Redfoxx-Are you also using stock strut inserts?
Or units designed for lowering springs?
Thanks

Thanks! That helps clear the air regardiing the newish struts I have on the car.
The drop is on a tight budget. I bought the springs for $50. I'll consider new struts, but that eats some of the new tire budget.

I replaced the struts last summer with some gas shocks/struts on all four corners. The handling was much better! But after an auto-x I decided to upgrade.
I have a set of snowflake rims waiting for new tires.
I'm planning to use the shocks I have on the car now. I am going to take care of the front first. Depending on the drop I might not have to do the rears at all.
