You are the ONLY person on this forum who seems to have been successful in doing this conversion.

I'm actually surprised that the sedan springs do any good since despite being approximately 1/2" longer, they have a softer spring rate than some of the wagon springs.

From the FSM:
123.123 (sedan) rear spring:
PN: 123-324-14-04
Length: 355mm
Rate: 18.45mm/1000N

123.123 (sedan) rear spring:
PN: 123-324-06-04
Length: 359mm
Rate: 18.45mm/1000N

123.193 (T-wagon) rear spring:
PN: 123-324-29-04
Length: 336mm
Rate: 18.2mm/1000N

123.193 (T-wagon) rear spring:
PN: 123-324-41-04
Length: 347mm
Rate: 18.8mm/1000N
