Default Failed road wothy, got a few questions.

Took the car to get road worthied today.

Got alot of minor stuff but a few majors.

Suspension too low
Bit of rust under the car
all the tyres aren't road worthy


So my question is mainly about the suspension.

I don't know much along the lines of suspension so I was wondering what a good setup is for a TE 4.1 is and where to get it done
I'm in Melbourne.

It's gotta be legal height though.

Thanks, Aaron.

1) get stock suspension
2) get RWC with stock suspension (and good tyres, rust removed)
3) put low suspension back in.

Don't have the stock suspension bought the car lowerd.
Got a broken leg and can't do the work my self
was planning on raising it a little any way cause it's too low.

So yeah I'd rather just get some good suspension fitted that's legal height. I get my P's soon and I really don't want an overly low car on my P's cause I can't be ****** with cops trying to defect it lol.

So any recomendations?

Fair enough ;) No suggestions sorry, I know bugger all about Cortinas. Alloy 250 + T5 should be a wicked combo though! Good luck with the roady.
