    Default ke70 wagon skids?

    how hard is it to set one up? is it worth it? i am thinking about getting rid of the sedan and going a wagon or a pano. want something with a bit more room so i can fit my drum kit and stuff like that in but still slide it.
    any input would be swell

    can you convert the rear to a strut and spring setup or can you get stiff leaf thingys?

    both have been done before.

    probably easier sourcing a good leaf spring setup that eliminates axle tramp combined with good shocks and possibly an ajps sway bar.

    wagons twist a lot more too... boat spec

    the rear conversion to strut is not easy and takes some fabrication work. but a lot of guys run flipped rear leaves, not a simple as it sounds... you flip some of the leaves and possibly delete one or two in the process... but good results can be had through such a process, I can't remember where i saw the best write-up on it, probably on the old forum tech articles. have a dig around for info on tweaking rear leaves, they're not as useless as you'd think in the rear of a wagon... and you'll save $$$ if you work em out.

    yeh wagon's aren't that good unless you do alot of work. most likely a coil conversion. i think having alot of power could compensate for their shitty rear end too.

    i have a wagon!! there cool as, axle tramp fails almost as hard as clinton fails at life....

    pretty much if you want a performance car....dont build a wagon

    good dailys however, mine slides just fine but anything slightly serious and you would start to notice it strugling
    HAHAH I LOVE BOOST LOOSING!!
    [QUOTE]iv done my research and welding the suspension solid seems the be the way to go for sliding purposes[/QUOTE]
