another spring question

[almcgrail]

spax dont list lowering springs for sport tourer, but will hatchback ones fit to save me spending more on other brands that do list springs? ta.

tourers have a different setup dont they ??

Thats what i'm trying to find out. The Jom coilovers i were going to buy fit any model, most tourers lowered 45mm look same as hatch. They have same front springs but different rears, but will any springs fit anyway? for instance hatchback springs are about £100 but tourer springs are about £150, why the difference cos i cant see aftermarket companies being over specific with every model. Its all a bit confusing when you start to look at it closer.

tourers are estate cars, estate cars are designed to carry more weight, this is why they need a difference spring.

But in the end the weight of a Hatch and an Estate is almost the same.
