Default Coilovers For Wagon?

I can't seem to find coilovers for a wagon, at least new ones. This is all that I could find. They are Tiens. Is this a good deal?

So I'm not mistaken I should get wagon coilovers cause coupe/sedan coilovers have softer rates in the back than the wagon? And I can use civic coilovers? That makes no sense to me if the civic is 500+ lbs lighter than the accord.

The eBay sleeve coilovers work good. They ride super smooth too and cheap!

Will those work well in the wagon cause I heard wagon has stiffer rates in the back than non wagon.

Yes. It will also make it faster because it makes the car lower which makes it use less gas. It also keeps the bottom of the car cooler which reduces drag.

Sleeve coilovers, like this?

If I got these all I would need are struts?

Wagons have different part numbers for both the front and the rear. I am having a hard time finding wagon specific shock absorbers and springs... Or coil overs.

Alright, almost everything I said earlier was complete bullshit. Ebay stuff is junk, and my Megan sleeve coilovers are just as horrible. Hence why I'll be going back to original height this summer anyways.

But Skunk2 coilovers are not bad. At least they work just fine AutoX'ing on my buddy's 580whp H boosted civic lol

Ebay stuff is not junk, they sell name brank quality stuff. Its a misconception to say that ebay just sells crap. You can find almost any brand name part you can think of and it is usually cheaper than anywhere else... So don't talk **** or judge me just because I posted an ebay item. They were Tien coil overs from Japan, quality name brand.

Turbo, manifold, Mishimoto radiator, Evo injectors, Evolution Wastegate, etc. Yes I'm perfectly aware of eBay sellers having some decent quality items. They act as standard distributors, and many eBay stores are linked to online stores with websites.

Type in Mugen shift ****. This is what myself and many others mean when we say "Ebay junk" 99.99% of all car components on eBay are junk, come from junk distributors, and are made in a junk country. Now stop getting defense over nothing internet warrior.

Dude you had me going for a second. I was like "is this guy serious right now?" lol

To the OP: The sedan and wagons (which I have both of) have identical part numbers for rear suspension. Which is amusing considering the wagon is heavier by a couple hundred pounds I think. It also depends on the type of ride you're looking for. Stiff, smooth etc. I have the Tokico blue with H&R springs on my wagon and it rides like glass.
