97 850R wagon suspension setup in Los Angeles
So I'm overhauling my suspension; original goal was to get as close as possible to original OEM setup, but I've since leaned towards the following:
Bilstein TCs at all four corners
Lesjofors front coil springs
IPD overload rear springs (for loading the car with people for camping, as well as semi-frequent furniture hauling)
Meyle control arms and bushings
IPD sway bars
Now I'm asking you what you think; will the overload springs and Bilstein TCs be an okay combination in the rear? The roads in LA sometimes suck, so I want something comfortable but I'd also like to be able to carve out some mountain roads on the weekends. Would Sachs and 4 Lesjofors with the IPD sway bars be a better setup for this purpose?
Thanks for input, I looked all over but reviews of various setups vary.

I have Bilstein TCs and IPD sways on both my cars and can't rave enough about that setup; slightly firmer than stock dampening but very controlled and the sways will definitely entice you to do some corner carving.
Sorry can't help with the springs; mine are stock. And I don't recommend mixing brands/types of shocks between front and rear.
