Gen3 springs for a wagon?

Im looking around for springs for my wagon, and notice that Eibach specifically says "Excluding Wagon" on all their springs. I looked around and when I search for camry wagon springs I always find all the excluding wagon products. Are there any springs that will fit the wagon and lower it? Ive seen bunches of Scepter wagon's lowered.. I can't amagine theyre all just cut springs. Also, what is different on the rear of a wagon compared to the sedan? Can I use the same struts, sway bar etc?

i think its only because the springs have to be much bigger to take the extra weight, they can't guarantee that their springs will hold/not bottom out

Various places say the Wagon weighs 3265, and the sedan weighs 2932. Carpoint says the XLE weighs 32xx. Will sedan springs fit the wagon? Are there any wagon/xle springs?

i think the wagon has a higher max weight, and since the load is in the rear, they're probably thicker, i know that there's a load sensor in the back of the wagons

Yup, there are Wagon specific springs. I haven't seen any in N. Amer., but H&R's German site has them listed under "Kombi" (German for wagon?)

Springs for the sedan will fit but the height btw the front and rear might be off. PM Ratko. He accidently ordered a set of springs for the wagon. He might still have them.
