KE20 Modifcations

Hi all, I'm just after some info on modifying my KE20. Basically I'd like it set up for good handling and am also thinking of an engine conversion sometime in the future. So with these goals in mind I was hoping I could be such advice as, a)What is a suitable wheel/tyre size b)What is a good suspension setup and c)What would be the best engine/gearbox to transplant into it?
Thanks

Best engine/gearbox would be the 4A series.
Suspension could go well with coil overs up front (I have yet to see what good brake upgrades fit the std struts - spose you could use something from Wilwood)
I have a 24mm sway bar up front - it could use a panhard rod out back.
I reckon 15 x 7 would be ample big enough for the 20.
These are just some thoughts and it bears little semblance of what I have currently done to mine.

Isn't it more expensive to install say a 4A-GE because it's a front wheel drive engine and requires more mods? Where is a good place to go to get suspension done?

YelloRolla: i just went to their site but couldnt find a listing on sway bars  may i ask roughly what you paid for it?
CryptOrchid: sorry to have hyjacked ya thread 
also, you can get rwd 4age's, just a little harder to find and a little more $$$ then the fwd ones. but theres nothing wrong with a fwd 4age, and not that hard to make it rwd either.
do a search on here cos im sure its been covered a heap, converting FWD to RWD.
