BE/BH rear strut/spring differences

[dusterbd13]

So, i need struts. All 8 i have on hand are deader than hell. Add that to needing strut mounts up front, and planned lowering and increased spring rates, etc and we have a lot going on.



Theres a smoking deal available on some decent coilovers from a BE sedan, that manufacturer lists as BE sedan only.

I have a baja, which uses the BH wagon parts. Which call for the same shocks, mounts, etc according to rockauto. Only different spring rates, or the same depoending on the line item.

So, BE sedan stuff, other than a little light rate in rear (assumed), should fit and work perfectly on a BH wagon. Right? Or is there a difference im missing? Any reason not to do this?

As far as I recall, BE coilovers should be pretty much identical to BH units in the rear, but you may need to set the ride height slightly further up the shock body, to compensate for a little more weight over the rear wheels. but the springs on a set of coilovers usually end up stiffer than factory anyways, so you will definitely feel a difference in firmness, whether the coilovers are sedan or wagon-specific.

Awesome. Kinda what I was thinking! Thanks for the independent confirmation
