Hey guys,

I have a few questions for those of you with S6 wagons...

Is the rear suspension different on the wagons, or esentially the same as t=
he sedans?  Is there anything else in there that might wear out prematurely=
?  And, what about shocks and springs?  Wouldn't stiffer springs, and likew=
ise shocks to dampen them be in order for the rear?  But, I don't imagine s=
uch a thing exists.  What are you guys with wagons and upgraded suspensions=
 running?  Same as the sedans?

I'm thinking a rear coil-over conversion might be the best way to get the r=
ight spring/shock rate in the rear to balance out the car (or at least get =
rid of some of the major inherant understeer).  However, I have no idea wha=
t that optimal spring rate would be...  Which is why I'm asking the list.

What's the hot set-up on wagons?

Later,
Dan
