Does anybody know the differences between a set of coilovers made for the 2000-2004 Legacy Sedan and Legacy Wagon? Is it the height adjustment?

Um.... I'm gonna take a swing at this one and say that the rears for the wagon might be a little stiffer..because of the added weight?

That may be true, but I wonder what the weight difference is out in the back then because I'm seeing Cusco Zero-2 Coilovers, and I'm pretty sure that these are also used on the Sedan, but I'm not sure, these are what I'm seeing on this site:

Anybody else have input?

There's not difference. The spring rates most of these coilovers come with are so stiff the 100-200lbs of weight in the back wouldn't matter. That and most coilover companies emply lazy engineers to begin with...

No diff. However having the ability to choose spring rates is a nice option if you have it.

So, what options do I have other than:

Cusco
Tein
Ksport
D2

Besides the first three, does anyone know anything about D2? I haven't found a website for them? How long have they been around?

d2=ksport, both made from the same factory in taiwan.

Why do you want coilovers? That's the most important question people should ask before plunking down a good chunk of money on one of these sets...

It's the handling capabilities that I'm after.

I think the Ksports will do me fine, I've heard some good things about em. Besides they are right in the price range that I'm looking at, besides I'm not looking to go to the track all that often, and I'm not looking at going all out, just something to put me over the top of my current setup with Bilsteins.
