Skandix has a progressive lowering spring set which must be available there as it originates in Europe. I'm not sure if they have it for the wagon, as I think the rear geometry is different than the sedans, but they might. I have the Superlite copies of mini-lites on my 122- they were a good price and look great. They're from Australia I believe, and I see that IPD now has them.

I believe these are the specs you want/can use for the wheels-
15x6 or 6.5"
bolt pattern 5x4.5
3.5" backspace
25mm (1") positive offset

I put 205-65-15 tires on mine. They ride and handle great and the speedo isn't off by too much. There is a tiny bit of rubbing when the steering wheel is turned to the max like in tight parking manoevers, but not enough that I'm concerned.
