Simple lowering kit for G3 wagon

Hi guys, what's a good way to reduce the ride height of my wagon without getting bounce & scuttle. I'm not looking for a big drop - 1/1.5" is plenty. Also, should I replace these 15" wheels (ES300) with generic 17's, or do they look OK?

I honestly like those rims on your car.

Drop 2wickedtoyz a PM here about the lowering of a Wagon. He is not on much (due to limitied internet access), but he will respond to a PM. He's one of the top Gen 3 Wagon guys.

i thought we could just buy lowered springs and put them on. as far as i'm aware that should do the trick. there's some reasonably priced springs on ebay AU.

as for 15's, there are very few that look good on a gen3 and yours are defintely in that group. i really think they compliment the car.
