Default '91 Wagon needs rear springs. OEM or aftermarket?

The rear springs were cut on my '91 Accord LX Wagon to lower it. I had replaced the fronts a while back with some used ones but had a hard time finding the rears so I just added a couple twist in spacers. I forgot that until now when I'm ordering bushings and struts. Has anyone used aftermarket springs? And from who? Most that I find don't say that they are for Wagons and I know the Honda numbers for the OEM springs are different from wagons to sedans and coupes.

Edit- Oops, meant springs instead of struts. Got all my answers on struts from another post just have to find some rear springs now. If anyone has used ones for a wagon they want to sell, hit me up.

I'd stay away from Monroe. They are just gawdy, imo. KYB sells a great quick strut. You can get it from justsuspension.com cheapest. Use norush coupon code.

I saw the KYB strut spring combo but it doesn't specify for the wagon. Honda shows different springs for the wagons over the sedans. I'd be worried the springs wouldn't be strong enough. I've got a message to them I'm waiting for a reply to.

Thanks for the code BTW. Planning on going with KYB for struts regardless. Just got to work out my limited spring choices.

Here's what I got back from KYB for anyone else in my shoes.

"the part numbers SR4045 and SR4046 will work with both, the sedan and S/W, the coil spring are different from the OEM, our springs are variable rate, so they will calibrate to both the sedan and Station Wagon, unfortunally KYB does not offer the springs only"
