Default Sedan Springs on an Avant.
So the springs I want dont come with avant specific weights.

What will I experience if I slap them on?

Default A slap across the a$$ is what you'll get. . .
I would think the added weight of the avant would just make it sit a little lower than intended. I'm not sure if that's a good thing though.

The springs will most like be overworked causing the shocks to go faster.

Makes sense to me. Figured it couldn't be a good idea.

Default Your rear end will be more bouncy... i'd go the other way
if anything. Avant springs on a sedan would make the rear end stiffer.
