Greenie ...
I have the Eibach Pro-Kit (springs only) and Progess sway bars (24mm front, 22mm rear) - which frankly works amazing and looks pretty good with the 17" ST200 rims.
Eibach created a wagon kit for the "older suspension" (which is now no longer available from Eibach) but they did not make a wagon kit for the "newer" suspension" ... so I made my own for my 07.
I bought a sedan kit for the 05+ for the front springs (same for sedan and wagon) and bought an 00-04 wagon kit for the rear springs (same for all years for wagon) ... the four springs that remained became essentially an 00-04 sedan/hatch kit which now proudly supports another members ZX5.
The big surprise for me was how much difference to the handling the upgraded rear bar made ... and then when I had the front bar installed (not really a DIY job) the difference that made.
I am still running the stock struts and shocks with no problems after more than 20k ... but I have a set of ST struts standing by for the front when that becomes necessary.
What year is your wagon?
