i am going to order a set for mine shortley 6-8 weeks delivery
i am prepaired to do a very good group buy on these , prices will depend on the people who want to go ahead , you can buy direct from japn ( as nick said ) but
you might still have to pay vat and duty , And Tein uk will not wty these units

let me know what you think ?

I am getting the Super Wagon kit for mine. If you study the application guide on the Tein website you will see that the Super Wagon kit is suitable for the EC5A ... :scholar:

Nope!

I paid less than £700 for Super wagons with EDFC including shipping, packing, and a credit card charge. But that was from RHDJapan, not from Mr Voodoo. TBH, if Mr Voodoo could have done that price or better a month ago, I would have bought them from him.

nick that is a very cheap price
rrp on both is £940 i have asked tein uk about dropping their prices as the yen is so poor , but i think no is going to be their answer ( the answer is no )
i could do the above for £ 749 all in this is a very good price !!!!!!!!!

you will also have a full tein uk wty ???

on another note having spoken to tein uk they are thinking of stocking the kits
for the legnum/galant ( shocks and springs ) in the uk

Nick or some one can you tell me roughley how many vr4,s legnum and glant
who are members on here

i need to inform tein uk how many owners their are in the uk ?

No problem mate.

I paid £502 for the Super Wagons without EDFC and that included shipping (surface shipping, 4-12 weeks), packing and the credit card charge. That was also from RHD Japan.

Don't forget that I may still be hit for import tax/duty. That could change the final price.

MR.VOODOO: I don't think anyone can give you exact numbers of UK owners, not even the DVLA. Mine is registered as a Galant GL, for example! Officially, Ralliart brought in 200 VR4s. As a rough guess, I would say that one in four of the cars at events is a Ralliart supplied car, so completely out of the blue I would say that there must be around 1000 VR4s in the UK. To be honest, though, it could be twice that or less than that.

Yes, but I did not have to wait the 2 months to get them delivered. It took 10 days and most of that was my faulty for paying via paypal and using a e-cheque which took 7 days to clear!

If I had taken the slow route, it would have cost £513 all in. I was lucky as Barry paid the shipping for me!! (Birthday Present)

just spoke to tein uk and the galant vr4 and the legnum vr4 have the SAME suspension kit

Oblivion

I've recently contacted Mitsubishi and they've told me EC5W and EC5A suspension parts are all interchangeable, so am I right thinking the Tein GT Wagon will fit my Galant VR4? Has anyone already done this? I'm actually also keen to get it with stiffer springs and a mono tube damper but I dont know if Tein will do this.

MR.VOODOO
23-09-2007, 11:21 AM
yes the legnum gt wagon will fit the galant vr4
