We are talking about a wagon here, correct? Putting in regular springs
in a wagon makes for better handling? I think not. The SLS when
working properly handles VERY well. It is a very simple system, very
little goes wrong. That think will never be right if you just put
springs in it.

It sounds like a lot of work and expense to reinstall the self

Simpler, more reliable, and better handling. If it sags in the rear
when you load it up, just get stiffer springs or some spacers. I've
used "overload springs" with stock height, but a 20% stiffer rate on
my Volvo wagons that I do a lot of towing with. It handles a little
better, and doesn't really sag at all when I load it up- but I didn't
notice any reduction in the ride quality.

I am hoping to find a 300TD (wagon) motor to install so I can
reconnect the
self levelling system (SLS) on my wagon. Currently, the car is
fitted with
a perfectly adequate replacement 300D replacement engine from a non
wagon.
The PO disconnected the SLS (removed the hydraulic struts) and installed
normal Bilstein shocks when he installed the current motor (which of
course
has no SLS pump). Idiot.
Do you really need a turbodiesel engine, or are you messing with me?
