ok i dont know much about lowering, but this was done by a guy in Best gemini's magazine to a TG wagon... direct quote:
"A 3" drop front and rear drags the van closer to the ground, while Monroe GT gas shocks help damp out the spring oscillations. At the rear a 22mm swaybar and Panhard rod are used. Matt suggested the van differs from the sedan in that the Panhard rod is much shorter and the shocks are andgled in at the top at 45 degrees while the sedan runs vertical shocks. All this means that a Piazza (discbracked) rear end will bolt straight under the van, while some mods are needed to fit the same axle under the sedan. Up front, a 25mm swaybar is used to control body lean. Making contact with the blacktop is Yokohama 509 rubber to the 195/50x15" size, while the alloys are 15x6" Cheviot Spiders."

ok.. well hope that helped, the mag is a few years old, not sure if there have been improvements since. As i said i dont know a whole lot about lowering myself, but this guys van looks pretty cool.


PS feel free to flame, but its not my idea

Kings springs about $80 per pair,

any reputable kings springs reseller will have their kings springs wall chart, that has all the info it appears idiot proof, ( so you can actually check the shit they will tell you) but I doubt it, start with 1 1/2 inch lower all round
