I just picked up an 87 wagovan and was wondering if anyone sells coilovers for this year or what coilovers might work. Thanks, any help is VERY appreciated.

You can only use coilovers in the rear because it torsion bars/struts up front. Ground Control is the only company that still makes them rite now I think. Good luck...

from g1teg.org faq...

1. Raise the front wheels off the ground.
2. Adjust the height by turning the height by turning the height adjusting nut.



3. Lower the front wheels to the ground, push the car up and down and back and forth several times, then confirm that the spring height is within specifications.
