![]() I like the front to be lower and I tow a motorcycle on a trailer from time to time. I would like to lower the front of my car a bit yet keep the height almost stock in the back with slightly stiffer springs if possible. IPD has their spring sale right now and I was curious if anyone has a picture of the wagon springs on a sedan.

![]() The sedan lowering springs are probably stiff enough to do what you want. Wagon springs on a sedan will be harsh unless the trunk is loaded all the time.

![]() From IPD:
Thank you for your email. you can use the wagon springs on the sedan. I think the height will be the same but the will be a bit stiffer. Please let me know if you have any other questions. |

![]() The front springs are going to be the same and the rear wagon springs are going to pick up the ass end a good 1.5" just like swapping in 245 stockers would. Like the picture of that Bertone with the fat assed rake I posted above. |

I have already put bilsteins in the rear, have them for the front and I've replaced all of the rear with poly with poly to go in the front. Along with IPD sways. |

DAMHIK. 2" rake with half of it overload springs and half tire diameter difference. ![]() That said it's a very forgiving platform, so if you're not sensitive to how it feels running down the road, you might not notice much at all. ![]() |

![]() It is a common choice to lower the front a little more than the rear, normally 3/4 inch ish. That helps make the car look more level rather than the are down look. My dad goes extreme with a 2 inch drop at the front and 1 inch lift in the rear, he always carries a lot of weight and often tows a lot of weight so it's done for a purpose. Towing a bike would just want slightly stiffer than normal springs.

![]() I have a set of IPD lowering spring I took out of my wagon because they were to low for what I use my car for. Also the added stiffness made the rear end feel real choppy on dirt roads with small moguls, like shake you off the road kind of choppy. I thought the 25 % stiffer would make up for it being lowered but it don't.
I decided to leave the front springs in and lift the rear back up with the stock wagon springs and felt much better. Loaded down the car sits pretty good and feels fine with the weight. ![]() If setting up my sedan to tow I would do the same. |
