buying an rx4 wagon... need some advice
 
So like the title says, im buying a 74 rx4 wagon.. and I couldn't be more excited.

First of all, Suspension.. how involved is the SA front suspension swap? I don't mind it being low low, as that's usually how I operate. The rears I take it will need some sort of lowering block and larger U bolts to accomodate. Any advice on brake lines? Shocks, was thinking kyb adjustables and some swift springs, or is there an adjustable coilover readily available for the front? any chance of doing discs on the rear or am I going to have to custom make something?

Second, the lump: It's got weber sidedrafts on a racing beat mani afaik. I'd like to keep it carbed, at least for now, anything I should know/do to an early 13b or keep in mind? I've seen guys do S5 trannies, also anybody know what size the rear diff is?

Lastly, the terrible diving board sized bumpers that destroy the lines.. anybody know where someone can find the fitted bumpers, new zealand I'm guessing?

Thanks for any help and advice,

Kelly.
