EDIT:
The 4wd is real time 4wd, and can be switched to front wheel drive.



it switches like this:



I wish I had the 4wd even more now!

Thanks,

Hey Victor, 4WD is a neat novelty, but with the Wagovans, it makes dropping them very difficult, as no company made aftermarket suspension kits for the rear suspension of the 4wd wagovans. Actually, no one made any suspension kits for the wagovans specifically, since this chassis has never been viewed as the performance chassis. It just so happens though, thta since Honda made a lot of parts interchangeable in the 90's models, that the 2wd wagon shares the same front and rear suspension as the other "performance" variants of the same model year. So, what fits the EF hatchback will also fit your wagovan. Long story, since lowered cars look cool and handle better versus stock, and buying performance suspension components off of the shelf rocks a lot harder than calling Bilstein to make custom parts, you win with this 2WD chassis, sir.
