    Hey dudes,
    Is it difficult to convert the ae71 wagons with leaf springs at the back to a coil spring instead? Got a mate lookng at buying one, but he's not too keen on the leafies!
    Thanks dudes

    They are a bit sloppy when sliding. ANd give bad tank slapping!

    i was kind of thinking about this too. i wonder if the sprinter/sedan trailing arms would pretty much bolt in, the mounts look like a similar distance from the diff. maybe ill look into it, but for the money i could probly get a decent leaf setup.
    anyone have any experience?
