Wink Why a 6 wagon?

Things like this.

And Friday's trip to Rockford, IL, avg. 29.8 mpg 'to', and then 25.8 'back' with the rear end and lots more passing.

Hello
I have a 2004 wagon from my dad when he passed away, and like to ask you some quick questions:
1. Who installed Mazda speed springs and how much? My dealer said $1000 each corner for labor, so I said no thanks!
2. What is weight limit w/those springs. I hauled some stone last week, didn't know stones weight, but stopped when springs looked maybe 2/3 compressed and only drove 2 miles with the load.
3. Fianlly, my freon is low........do you add at port closest to firewall/dashboard?
4. post some more pics of your ride so I can see.....

THanks!!!! I love wagons for the fact that you can pick up utility w/out giving up sedan handling.....

1. I do all my own work -with my brother- The springs were very easy. Don't even need a compressor to put fronts back in.
2. No idea on weight limit. I never bottomed this past Friday with me, my brother, a full tank, and the rear-end in the car. I've also had my and 4 co-workers at one time and never bottomed.
3. Have to say not a clue.... I do have the factory manual - I'll take a look.
4. Will do

I love the utility. I can haul home supplies from Lowe's or Home Depot, and it's even long enough to sleep in on SCCA weekends.
