Cutting the springs has yielded mixed results for folks. Non turbo wagon springs put in a turbo wagon worked better than I ever thought it would. The front end was wandering all over the road. Just one case however. Now that I bought another wagon (today!!!) I'll have another example for testing soon. (1984, one owner, 147K, zero rust, great paint, two tiny door dings, no dash cracks, working a/c, door locks, windows, cruise, cross bars; poor deck carpet in rear (but soon to be changed to a third seat anyways), needs new tires and hatch struts. I'm happy as a clam. Now I need to sell a gasser.)
