Hey folks!

I need to beef-up the suspension in the back of my '96 Geo Metro, which has been converted to electric.

I would like to add some additional batteries, but it's already riding low in back.

The back of a Metro has a strut, and then a separate coil spring.

I would like to find some springs that are the same size and shape, but are designed to take more weight.

Ideally, there would be some other car that I could find at a junkyard which would have those springs. I could pull them off, put them on my car, and then add in more batteries.

Somebody suggested that I just get springs off the "station wagon version" of my car. Well, I have the 2 door. Does that 4-door have a higher GVW and tougher springs? By how much?

Does anyone know of any cross-reference that might be able to help me?

I am still trying to keep costs low, so purchasing new or custom springs most likely ISN'T a good option, but let me know if you have any ideas.
