Hi, I just bought a KE70 wagon and am looking to turn it into a clean little daily for the wife and I to get around in. The suspension is fairly clapped out so will be at the top of list to get done. I'm not after anything crazy just lowered an inch or 2 and tightened up a bit to improve handling, but nothing too hard. I've been doing a heap of reading around here and other forums but just looking for clarification on a few points before I go chasing up parts... Firstly it seems the AE86 front strut conversion is the way to go, it looks fairly easy and I like the fact I can put some bigger anchors on too! Question is - Is it legal? (In Tasmania.) Secondly, how big can I go with rims with this set up? I'm hoping for 16-17" x something fat! I've still got no idea what to do about the rears? Any ideas there greatly appriciated! I've got about $1500 or so to spend on suspension, but would rather quality over cheap so can wait a little while longer and pay more if needed... The main point is it has to be legal, so no "just chop the springs" thanks :) Cheers Free

I've got an '03 Lux running 2" Rockcrawler / Rancho suspension lift and 31's... More revs! by Free O'Toole, on Flickr She gets out in the mud a fair bit but not much on beaches. Now I've got a rolla for the wife I'll put another 2" body lift on and get a set of 33's to get her up a bit more.
