Looking for a good set of rear springs off a wagon that isn't sinking low in the rear. I probably should buy new but thought I would see what is available here first. a PM or whatever would be appreciated Thanks!

SLS is working, yes the issue of weak springs causeing premature failure in the system is my concern. I compared the car in question to my other car and the two are night and day different. I have weak springs, probably the result of hauling 1200 lbs of ceramic tile in the wagon, not once but several times
I am in contact with someone that has some but I am now thinking I will buy a new set.

I have a set of Vogtlands rear springs. I installed the front one on the front of my 84 TD. I'm leary of installing the V's on the rear- if someone can convince me it's okay I'll have a set for sale. This is one thing I won't pull at the yard either as it's such a hassle and if when pulling a set at the yard it unloads and hit me in the face I'll look better but may have problems eating, breathing and kissing if I'm still alive.
