Independent suspension as opposed to fixed rear beam  :nerd:  so im guessing the handling benefits that would come with it

You need to cut up the floor plan to accommodate it; its a lot of work........

Depends if you want the extra cost of the 4mo tax and the weight of the 4wd.....

I have been thinking about this for maybe next year and i know you have to cut all the wheel well away and pretty much get the boot floor from the 4mo

Well then I was mistaken  :laugh:
Assumed it would be more being a 2.8 ha
I was thinking of doing the 4mo thing but they are generally very expensive to buy  :undecided:
