Hello list
I am a new Legnum VR4 owner and my only gripe about the car is that the front is very low, only a few inches off the ground. I did come across another Legnum in a car park in Hong Kong and measured the clearance that was nearly double my car.
I often ground the front of the car when driving on roads that are less than perfect and I cannot drive up the kerb etc. The result is my front underskirt is looking very battered and tatty.
I took it to my local Mitsubishi garage to get it sprayed up. He has told me that my car has the original Japanese 'hard' shocks on the car (it was privately exported from Japan) and he can replace it with soft shocks that will raise the car up a few inches.
Couple of questions -
1. Did the VR4 ship with different shocks and different ride heights?
2. Should I go ahead and get the new shocks or would it have a detrimental effect on handling and maybe some other issues I haven't considered.
Thanks!
