Spring design is only one piece in how a car "rides". H&R would not be a step in the right direction.

It's more likely you'd find improvement by changing shocks.

Do you know how many miles are on the car?

Low Mileage

The wagon has only 12,400 miles on it, can you recommend a soft setting shocks. Thanks

Hmm, a 11 yr old car with 12,000 miles? Do I understand you correctly? What country are you in?

If The Ride is To HARD/FIRM..Inspect the REAR SELF LEVEL Shocks AND Accumulators..as when they go..the ride is harsh and Bouncy in the rear

The H/R and or Aftermarket springs WILL firm up the ride as I have the H/R Sport springs and Bilstein Sport shocks and the ride is Firm
