The white plastic thing on the distributor should move when you accelerate. Thats shows you that your vaccum advance is allright. Other from that its an Oktan-selector.
If you need I´ll look up in my manual for you...

lowering:
front:
AW11 rear struts are short stroke conversation for KE3*/KP6*
together with some lowering springs (for example King sprins, Lovel springs, both australia, I never came across a european source)
rear:
difficult!
blocks are easy, but will cause axle tramp, especially when massive drop is needed (like in a KE3*)
Well best way, do go to a leafspring shop and get them flatened and the eyes inverted professional.
Costs a bit but is by far the best option!

I´ve owned a KE35 for 3years and know a bit about them...

I am interested in knowing how to set this vacuum advance/ octane selector. There is a see through cap, underneath is a white plastic screw wich you can turn and adjust. I think it says A and R with arrows.. Hope you can help, I have now set it fully screwed inwards.

I sent an email to the Austrialian company`s, thanks for the tip. So you are saying that the original rear shocks from a AW11 are usable as a shortened front shock?
