Try a search, this was talked about before. But if I remember correctly the answer was not a good idea because the spring rates are diff from sedan to a wagon.

I seem to remember it the same as S60. The sedan spring is not as strong as the wagon spring based on loads.

the weight difference of the wagon with the sedan will compress the sedans springs more. it will acquire a kinda squatting look that 70's era camaro and trans am had. you have a wagon, don't you carry things back there? a tighter spring won't give as much since any weight placed back there will push down even more. keep it as is, unless you go for a complete upgrade on your suspension. but hauling abilities will be less.
