Didn't see much on here about the Technotoytuning Wagon leaf spring kit so wanted to share my install and experience with them. They are a good kit. Pretty satisfied with them. Noticeably stiffer than stock. I am using the additional 1" lowering blocks and it has the back sitting at the same height as stock springs using 2" blocks. So far seems no more axle wrapping or not as much and cornering is better. It is stable at high speeds or freeway driving. Cruising is very smooth. Have hit some hard bumps and hasn't hit the differential housing on the tunnel. Going to log more miles but so far so good!

Benzo. Thank you for moving this review to this post.
Nice looking car, and glad you found an improvement. I recall my lowered wagon pounding out the pinion snubber. I went through a few of those snubbers in my time!
